Newest atmospheric colony sim games
Thick fog, quiet woods and candlelit cloisters give these settlements a mood you can settle into. In Enshrouded you push into tainted land while shaping shelter, in WildRoot you grow a woodland settlement, and in Monastery: Ora et Labora you guide monks through daily tasks and prayer. These newest atmospheric colony sim games ask you to house people, assign work and keep supplies steady.
