I haven't heard much about this game, but a friend got it and was describing the insanity going on in his world, so I decided to pick it up.
I'm definitely a fan.
It's kind of like a cross between Dwarf Fortress and Prison Architect. There are no Z-values, so you don't dig down or anything, but the world map is a dead ringer for Dwarf Fortress. The graphics and characters are right out of Prison Architect.
You play as a group of survivors who crash landed on a planet and have to get back into space. You gather resources, set up zones, cut down trees, plant crops, and get attacked.
The people have varying personalities, so it's a real crapshoot on who you'll get. I ended up with two colonists who fell in love and got engaged. I built a wedding platform for the big day, but unfortunately she got crushed by a deadfall she was setting up. Still alive, she crawled back towards the base for medical care but was killed by a second deadfall she had already built.
Of course her cat went insane and attacked another colonist who used a spear to cut off one of its legs and its tail before it calmed down. Her finance was distraught, wandering around, and ended up being hit by the same deadfall that killed his love. He lived, only losing a single toe and some pride. I think we've all been there.
It's a good game and worth checking out. I'm enjoying it anyway.
