Resettlers

A cozy, bite-sized city builder and optimization puzzle about a community looking for the way to settle down.

---

Your people have been suffering from catastrophes every 10 turns since everyone has memory, making it difficult to advance as a society.

However, scientists believe that, with enough progress, you will be able to protect your community.

Can you unlock all the buildings and break the loop? How many Eras will it take you to save us all?

---

Use Wood  and Food  to make buildings and produce Wood , Food  and Progress each turn.

More Progress means new buildings and abilities.

A new era begins every 10 turns, giving you an (almost!) fresh start.

Some buildings remain. Your Progress prevails. Your Resources  are reset.

Can you beat the developer highschore of finishing in 3 eras? Share in the comments how many eras it took you to protect your community!

For the game's design, we drew inspiration from board games like Catan, video games like Civilization, and stories like the Three Body Problem.
