July 2025

I love this game. I love building and the almost sims assets it has. However how the game saves data has me searching for a new game similar to it. I play on mac and no matter what I've tried I can't find the save data folder. Which means that after playing I start loosing worlds I was working on. Since the game auto saves its hard to stop it from doing this. If you play on one world for forever then this game is great. But I like switching between worlds and I'm afraid to do so because my worlds might be saved over.

If you like city-builders and micro-managing, then this game may just be up your alley. You can read discussions and Wikis, OR go in blind and just follow the in-game instructions and tips.

This game keeps pulling me back every few months. It is not perfect, but, it is playable and fun. I love designing, and building protection for my village, This is a bit of a cross-over between The Sims (decide how and when to develop their individual characters and their social interactions) and a city builder (build your homes, village structures, roads etc.) and a castle/fighter game (build fortifications around your city and defend against the enemy) - something for everyone, but, on a small scale. Some of the Founder's interactions are problematic, so, you do need keep an eye on them to prevent them destroying their relationships in a single conversation. It would be great if the developer was willing, at this late stage, to fix this. Also, getting suitable new villagers from the visiting boats can be very hit and miss; it is much easier to grow your village with children) Otherwise it is a good game.

Unsure why would anyone want to join the colony and starve, i mean the people are from a city or something. Its a Sim game that needs to learn skills to survive and fight against the enemy.

I love this game for some reason. I do wish they would still add more to the game though. IT feels like this game could go further. THe goblins are such a pain but still fun
