AuZtralia
Race to build a new Australia before the ancient horrors sleeping underneath it wake up.
Who it's for
Lovecraft fans and economic gamers who want a builder with genuine dread ticking away underneath it.
Not for you if…
You want a light, breezy evening, because this is a two-hour brain-burner where the horror is patient and the stakes are real.
Vibe's take
tense, foreboding, strategic, slow-burn, atmospheric

About this game
AuZtralia drops you into a poisoned 1930s where the old world froze and survivors fled south, straight into the outback where something far older than the war is stirring beneath the dust. You build railways, mines and farms to keep your people fed, racing the clock because every action burns time, and time is what wakes the Old Ones. When they rise, they move, and rarely for anyone's benefit. It plays as a semi-cooperative economic race with real teeth, part builder, part slow-burn horror, where cooperation with the other survivors is smart right up until it isn't.
