About the Game
Delve into a world teeming with emergent stories and simulated depth, a realm where every mountain holds a legend and every pebble a secret. In this challenging construction and management simulation-- akin to a peculiar colony sim-- your task is to guide a group of dwarves, hoping they survive against starvation, dragons, and their own unraveling minds.
Command your dwarves as they embark on a quest to find wealth in a procedurally-generated mountain. As you play the game it is essential to fulfill their needs, from keeping them fed and drunk, to protecting them against wildlife, undead, and warring civilizations. You will need to manage their skills, moods, and social interactions to ensure the survival of your fortress. Moreover, you need to prepare your fortress as a home for nobles and other visitors that may arrive at your settlement.
Witness the rise and fall of civilizations, the development of unique personalities, and the emergence of strange creatures. A whole simulated world provides infinite hours of gameplay:
- Watch as your dwarves build taverns, libraries, and temples, developing their own unique culture and traditions.
- Survive in the fortress by creating crafts and treasure furniture from various materials.
- Read the thoughts of your dwarves, keeping them happy and productive in their work.
It's never been easier to jump in and play this genre-defining fortress building game. Experience the deepest, most intricate simulation ever created and discover why losing is indeed fun.
