About this game

On the table before you sits a set of books containing magic worlds and cryptic secrets. Open a book, explore its pages, and enter into varied landscapes of procedurally generated terrain and resources. Pay careful attention to the hints that litter the pages. Unlocking their meaning is the key to mastering the game.

Each world is a randomized puzzle. Learn optimized building arrangements, target resource-rich terrain tiles, and unlock larger, more rewarding structures to gain higher scores. Turn-by-turn and season-by-season, you must strategically place buildings to maximize resource and population gains while avoiding the wandering terrors of winter. Resource management is minimalistic, but skilled play requires planning and deep game knowledge.

In Summary:

Place buildings on resources to harvest them
Keep buildings near related buildings to earn bonuses
Discover secret building arrangements to trigger bonus structures
Undo and retry placements within a season to optimize
Protect your buildings during winter

As your population grows, you may expand to new areas. But take care. The ruins of a failed civilization lie scattered throughout the land. They will sense your presence. And when winter comes, altars will stir, unleashing terrors held back only by heat and flame.

Special items can be found or purchased from a mysterious hermit. Use them to boost your population, increase resource gains, or destroy altars and winter terrors. Using these tools wisely is necessary to reach the highest rankings.

Also Included:

20 puzzle-like challenge maps exploring the underlying rules of the game
The level editor used to create those challenge maps
A free-build mode, without time or resource constraints, to make something interesting and beautiful

Along the way, you may discover fragmentary manuscripts buried in the ruins of the civilization that preceded you, or otherwise hidden throughout the game world. Through voice-acted journal entries, cryptic fables, and historical records, you can piece together the forgotten lore that explains this world.
