About Rekindling
The ZTD virus has taken over and turned the majority of the population into Zims. Zims are mindless creatures that will stop at nothing to find and devour human flesh. You find yourself in charge of a colony of survivors trying to rebuild society.
Rekindling is a survivor management game where you must task your survivors with building up a sustainable settlement. Command your survivors to build, farm, mine and fight in our custom game engine built from the ground up!
Randomly generated worlds each time you play across multiple different biomes. You must collect nearby scraps, rocks and trees to prepare for the Zim attacks that happen each night!
Over 50 unique items to build and create in order to enhance your settlement.
The Survivors are all randomly generated with goals, likes, skills and bad habits.
The Zims like the dark and will come out to attack each night! Make sure you are ready to fight back the hordes.
Here are some features that we would like to add to the game before the full release. Updates will come out every week with these additions as well as other fun features. We have already started to implement a lot of these since we have gone into early access. Features with a (~) mean they have already been added in some form

I have put well over 400 hours into this game now and I am still loving it. I have to say it has been very well thought out. The game has scaled throughout my progress where it's the perfect balance of maintenance, survival, and creativity. I have played this game every day since I've bought it. If you're into survival, maintenance, skills, customization, building, progression, etc... This is absolutely worth it. Check it out!2 found this helpful

10h at the time of this review. I don't write a lot of reviews, Scroll to the bottom for the meat and potatoes if you don't want to read much. Rekindling has you managing a colony of survivors, who's plane goes down in the wilderness during the zombie apocalypse. It's your job to manage the survivors to build your base and keep everyone fed, healthy, and hopefully happy so you can eventually research the cure to the ZIM virus. Through careful management and researching, you will be able to build your defenses, make better more durable/powerful stuff, and give your survivors a little easier time at surviving. And with a little luck, you'll get more survivors who want to join your budding settlement. Each survivor has positive and negative traits and varying skills that will hopefully help them survive. There are a variety of task types, such as building, harvesting, researching, mining, etc. You can set priorities for each task. Maybe you need those walls up faster than you need that carrot farm created. You can set the priority higher for constructing the walls. You can also directly assign jobs to survivors, providing that they have the ability to do the job. Maybe your survivo…1 found this helpful
Really loving this so far. Clearly some inspiration came from Rimworld. Can't wait to see how this game evolves more and more.
So far game is amazing similar to rim world but also distinct with the 1.0 update coming up i think the game could be even better.
