A dark fantasy city builder where you must rebuild civilization in the face of apocalyptic rains. As the Queen’s Viceroy, lead humans, beavers, lizards, foxes, and harpies to reclaim the wilderness and secure a future for civilization's last survivors.

Just wanted to bring some more well deserved attention to this awesome game!

After playing too many city builder games I thought it’d be a long time before I got into another but after seeing the crazy high rating on steam (95% positive with more than 11k reviews) I decided to try it out and boy is it awesome.

I’ve been hooked playing this game for the last couple weeks now, I’d love to hear Lemmy’s thoughts on the game
