Newest scary city builder games

Settlements under pressure link these recent city builders, where growth and survival pull against each other. In DarkSwitch you stack homes and workshops up a tall tree while fog presses closer, in Nested Lands you hand out jobs, put up houses and grow food while sickness and raiders threaten, and in ShoreTiles you shape an island around its beacon before night brings attacks from the water. You manage housing, resources and defenses while dread builds around you.
