Love this game. I have restarted 20 or 30 times, because I find a better way to do things. First Winter was tough. Died of starvation and thirst, fixed those problems, now it is easy but I keep restarting to discover more of the early game.

If RimWorld wore a kilt, drank whisky before breakfast, and had to scrape barnacles off its soul to make it through the winter, you’d get Clanfolk. Set in the unforgiving yet hauntingly gorgeous Scottish Highlands, this colony sim doesn’t coddle you...it drops you in the mud, hands you a rake and a dream, and dares you to build something worth remembering before the frost rolls in. This isn’t just about building walls and assigning tasks. Clanfolk is a generational saga. You’re not just managing resources you’re managing people. Real people. They get cold. They get hungry. They get married. They have kids. And those kids? They’ll inherit the land and the legacy, or they’ll die trying. If that doesn’t scream "life distilled into pixels," I don’t know what does. The mechanics are deceptively deep. You’ll fish in spring, butcher in summer, pickle through fall, and pray through winter. Every log counts. Every fire matters. Forget to stock hay for the animals? Congratulations, your entire livestock operation is now a frozen graveyard. That chicken you named after your favorite uncle? Dead. And it’s your fault. The UI’s got its quirks like trying to translate Gaelic through a broken Walkman but the core gameplay is addictively brutal. You’ll lose your first few clans. That’s a promise. But when you finally make it through a full cycle, your hearth lit, your granary full, your children tucked into hay beds you hand wove yourself you feel something primal. Something honest. If you’re the type who prefers your games spoon fed with soft tutorials and quick dopamine hits, walk away. Clanfolk is not your game. But if you want to feel like you've earned your survival like every choice echoes across the highland hills and down through bloodlines....... this is the digital frontier you’ve been waiting for. Clanfolk is a brutal, beautiful reminder that life isn’t just about surviving it’s about building something that lasts. Just don’t get too attached to the chickens.......

I like it. I was a Rimworld fan and this fits right in. It's a guarded recommendation. It needs more content and I've seen the same comments about it for the last 2 years. Selecting a clan chief is great but it doesn't go anywhere. Ditto for some resources like gold. Some tools like weapons need to be fleshed out. At least allow the hunting bow to upgrade. Clothing ends at leather. It just needs so much more, but more of the same. It's very good but I feel I've reached a plateau relatively early. Very addictive while it lasted.

As you can see by my 800+ hours, I love this game. Do not be fooled by the Rimworld-esque aesthetic design; this is no clone. Living my best cozy life in Medieval Scotland, guiding my clan through famine, storms, and inter-faction rivalry, watching the firelight through the windows and the children playing their instruments while the family hound sleeps by the hearth... instant relaxation and joy. The developer updates regularly, communicates well, and has a Discord set up for beta testing. The game is in a working, balanced state with a lot of replayability even in Early Access, and every update has added really interesting gameplay elements/mechanics. The beaver update was especially awesome. Note that there is no real "combat' at this point, and whatever might come will not be true war. Given the historical devastation of actual Scottish clan feuds, it's not a goal of the developer to create a full war system; the planned emphasis is to remain on diplomacy and alternate outcomes. That is not a problem for me (I think it's a bonus), but some players may be unhappy with the overall lack of violence. I recommend this game to anyone who's ever tied a blanket around their waist, faked a Scottish accent, and pretended to be wandering the moors. It's my favorite comfort game, and there's a good chance it'll be yours, too.

If Rimworld was your ex and Clanfolk is your new boo, I advise you not to search qualities your ex has in your new partner. Let go of the expectation that your new one can replace your ex because it's a totally different person. Is that analogy easier to understand? The Discord community of Clanfolk is very active and engaged with the Dev, join the discord server and be part of it! Yes it is in Early Access but bugs are constantly tended to and new updates are regularly made.
