About Don't get lost

Don't get lost is a procedurally-generated, open-world, open-source, first-person colony sim. Play your own game, or join your friends as you build colonies to harvest natural resources from the infinite world.

Craft building materials, or let your townsfolk do it for you, and use an intuitive gridless building system to expand in 3D. Design a logistics system to distribute goods across town, or build a new town where the resources are. Add catapults and guards to defend your colonies as they come under increasingly-difficult tower-defence-style attacks. Manage the needs of your townsfolk, making sure they have enough to eat and don't become unhappy with their lot in life. Level up their skills so that they work faster, and manage their assigned jobs accordingly. Use the materials they make to research new technologies to make your settlements swankier and more efficient. Explore the infinite multi-biome world and interact with it's natural inhabitants (both the hostile and friendly kinds). Go fishing, build a house in the tree tops, farm goats in the mountains, ride on a railway of your own design all whilst playing with, or against, your friends and their townsfolk.

But,
Most importantly,
Don't get lost.

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the game's quirky aesthetic and appreciate that the tutorial demonstrates mechanics in action, but the core pathfinding system is widely criticized as unintuitive, tedious, and frustrating to use. The game shows promise in its premise and building mechanics, yet many feel it needs significant work on its tools and systems, with some noting that development appears to have stalled.

Fantastic little indy game with a lot of heart. It has good progression and execution and so far I haven't run into any game breaking bugs or serious jank. Very chill game, absolutely worth a try

Don't get lost? Well, it would be hard to provided the map feature and the small playable area. Granted, the whole land is apparently free to build on, which makes it feel bigger than it is. Starting area and Tutorial is genuinely appreciated! It's so cool to see all the mechanics in action before you build them yourself! But the tutorial is very long and just tells you to make a thing without explaining how it will help you. Maybe this is to prevent overwhelm but I was a little confused. The placing mechanics aren't locked to a grid and allow for precision which is cool. Jungle is impossible to navigate and I couldn't destroy trees and rocks; I just got infinite resources. Correct me if I wasn't sitting there whacking it long enough. I got bored before the colony part. Maybe I need to play longer or try it with friends. It's free and it runs... fine. 5/10 game feels lonely and progress looks abandoned. Makes me sad.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
