Newest mysterious city builders

These newest city builders grow settlements in the shadow of something you do not yet understand, and your job is to keep people alive while you work it out. In DarkSwitch you raise a town up a massive tree against a creeping fog, in Mistward you push back poisoned haze with lamps and outposts, and in Stormbridge you keep expanding ahead of a coming tempest. You will lay streets, chain production and ration supplies while clues about each mysterious threat surface.
