1. Settlement Survival

   

   Lead a band of survivors to a new home and raise a town from nothing: shape the land itself, plant crops, survive winters and disasters, and grow a settlement worth moving to. A colorful, low-pressure survival city builder where every map is new and every town plays out differently.
