Who it's for

Hardcore Splotter fans and heavy strategy gamers who want a civilization game that punishes mistakes ruthlessly. Deeply satisfying when a plan comes together.

Not for you if…

Not for casual players β€” this is one of the most punishing euros ever made. Long, complex, and unforgiving by design.

Vibe's take

Punishing, deep, unforgiving, rewarding

About this game

Punishing civilization-building game where pollution and famine are constant threats. Build a medieval city, manage scarce resources, and try to achieve your chosen victory condition while the environment degrades around you. A heavy, unforgiving Splotter design that rewards long-term planning.
