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

Official description:

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.

I cannot recommend this game highly enough. It's already a fantastic game, and the devs keep updating it. To put this game in perspective, I usually play city builders (RimWorld) at max speed, music of, watching a TV show on another monitor. This game is so beautiful and chill I've never taken it above realtime, and I can't bring myself to turn off the music.
It's not that it's easy, it can be really difficult, but you see the bad things coming. You don't suddenly get jumped by something unexpected, but things build up. And the way various random effects come together every run means that the way you play is different every time. They call it a Roguelite City Builder, and it is a fantastic combo.
