MANAGE A LIVING COLONY Build up housing, farming, a workshop, salvage yard, defenses, and more — each building unlocking new ways to keep your people fed, hydrated, and ready when trouble arrives. Prioritize between food, water, scrap, defense, morale, and recovery. SEND SURVIVORS TO EXPLORE AND SCAVENGE Dispatch a small roster of heroes — a scout, a builder, a soldier, and an operative — each with real skills, personality, and a stake in the future of the colony.

Uncover what's happening at the edges of your map — and follow a personal thread that runs straight through the campaign, from your first day rebuilding to the truth about what the Collective took from you. DEPTH THAT REWARDS ATTENTION Multi-chapter...
