This is absolutely the best game I've ever played of this kind! It makes me come back to it over and over. In fact, what I do is wait for the next update and, each time, start a new game from scratch, because I never have enough of it (the game developer clearly works on this non-stop and is rather quick about releasing new content). You basically start with a small family in the Scottish medieval setting (no guns and other modern technologies, yay!) and have to build, craft, farm, rise livestock and develop technologies (such as baby cots, bathtubs, clay bricks, pitchers, dish racks and all sorts of storage for every type of good in the game - love those storages!!!), all of that so you can survive winters and grow your clan spanning generations. Intitially, it may feel a little hard because you need to figure out which technologies are critical for the survivial of the first winter (you might have to restart a couple of times) but, trust me, it is worth it! Once you get past that first winter, you know what you need so you can just keep on with it while expanding your house, marrying your people, raising babies, burying the dead, etc. all the while developing new technologies that improve your people's lives but without the threat of assaults. Which means, unlike in other games of this type, your goal is to calmly grow and develop (aside from that first winter) instead of worrying about an incoming attack that always eventually ruins all that you have acomplished (your only enemies in this game are fire, wolves and foxes that steal your livestock - but if you get a dog then it will protect your animals. Oh, and you can have a male and female and a lot of pups too). I know this game is still early access but so many things have already been added since its release, that it could already be a full-fledged game as it is. There is actually so much content that my playthroughs generally last about 5-9 in-game years before I have developed all the technologies, my clan is enormous, my houses and farms etc. look exactly how I like them and I am tempted to start a new family from scratch. What is also cool is that you can choose your starter settings (how big is the family you begin with and which animals they bring) and I love experimenting with this too (the orphans' begining is particularly rewarding, but try it only once you have played through another, easier option). Thanks to those different settings that you can freely change, each playthrough is different. Also maps are randomly generated so no two games are alike. It is a very addictive game and worth your time. If you're still having doubts, check out my playthrough time. I am not kidding when I say I love it. In fact, I don't have a single complaint about it. So, if you like medieval settings, farm simulators and community managers then this game is for you too!!!

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.

When I first got this game, I was surprised how great it was.... When some updates came out, I was surprised by how much love was STILL being poured into this game by the creator... Now, while I am not SURPRISED, I'm still overwhelmingly grateful that this game keeps getting so much love. Clanfolk is nothing short of a lifetime game - meaning, much like a select few other games I have, I will never tire of it. I will ALWAYS pick this game up for a time period, play it obsessively for 20+ hours, put it down for a rest, wait a few months, then pick it right back up again.

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.
