About Of Life and Land
Take the role of a leader delegated to build new settlements in remote, unknown corners of the empire. In those forgotten places, nature is wild and legends are more real and vivid than one may think. Experience the challenges of different seasons and climates in a world, where every animal and every plant tries to find their place in nature, while you lead your villagers. How much will you share with nature? Will you strive for balance or even enforce the extinction of certain animals? Follow the old paths… or find your own.
Find Balance (Or Not)
Humans share the same space and resources with nature, and they influence each other. While in the beginning the influence of the humans is insignificant, it gets more and more important when the city - and its needs - grow. There is a risk that some animals or groups will become extinct or explosively multiply, depending on your actions.Build Your Economy
Manage the acquisition, refinement, and distribution of resources. Goods must be transported to desired locations by someone who has the time and space to do it.Care For All Living Things
Manage the needs of the citizens. They are “alive” and have a specific home, workplace, and broad range of needs and goals. But animals also look for food, get thirsty, sleepy, form groups, look for social interactions, and try to find their place in nature. Even plants need water and the right temperature in order to survive.Observe The Vibrant World
Seasons and weather affect the gameplay. Certain plants grow only in certain seasons, need more water on hot days or freeze during cold periods. Humans and animals need more energy to keep warm in winter or more water in summer to keep cool. In extreme cases, they suffer from exhaustion and may even be harmed.Take Your Time
You set the pace. Pause the game, speed it up or slow it down whenever you want. Nature is robust, and your villagers develop more complex needs as you progress.Build Your Own Scenarios
Create your own maps and scenarios in the editor. You can change the landscape, generate plants, and place animals. You can also connect watercourses and create new paths for travellers. Add new maps or link existing ones together to a new world.Features

So far so good. Seven hours in and it seems pretty good.1 found this helpful
Absolutely love this game. I think about it in my sleep. Challenging and extremely satisfying.1 found this helpful
A really interesting take on the town management game. I had a lot of fun exploring, and I can tell that there is a lot more to see. Feels familiar, but also fresh!1 found this helpful
Overall: This was a solid game, but not remarkably different from or better than other colony-builder titles. I enjoyed the process of starting a colony, picking locations for my builds, and seeing the population develop. I was disappointed by the execution of the ecology-themed gameplay elements. I was expecting gameplay that focused on tending to native species, making choices about keeping the world in balance, and sustainable varieties of harvest. Instead it was just another resource extraction game, but with bar graphs built in to monitor the local population. Once I completed the tutorial, I felt like the goal drop-off was steep. It could have been helpful to have intermittent goals built in to help manage a healthier store of food, to tend to the population of different species, or to teach you to navigate some of the more advanced features of the game. The result was that I didn't really feel incentivized to continue playing my save file, because it didn't feel like there was a meaningful series of goals to work towards (other than the nebulous and complex task of bringing your colony to a certain level of satisfaction). Nor did I feel incentivized to try again wi…1 found this helpful
While it looks a bit rough around the edges, the depth of the simulation is impressive. For how much is going on, the game runs so smoothly as well. Hats off to the developers.1 found this helpful
Still waiting on a random map generator.
