Apocalyptic city-builder Floodland has 💃players rebuild a world that's been destroyed by climate change.

This upcoming indie is from developer Vile Monarch, a studio founded by Kacper Kwiatkowski and Grzegorz Mazur. The pair previously worked at 11 Bit Studios, where they co-created the brilliant and deeply atmospheric survival adventur🌳e This War of Mine.

Flooded presents an altogether different experience, but one that still centres around the struggle for survival. Humanity's impact on the planet has led to soaring sea🉐 levels, resulting in once mighty nations being reduced to a bunch of islands and swamps. Leading a group of survivors, you're tasked with rebuilding society from the soggy ground up. Y🧔ou'll gather resources, build shelters, and rediscover technology to turn this swampland into a fully functioning town. 

As your community grows, survival won't be the only issue. There'll be tough decisions🌱 ahead as not everyone will agree with your vision for society. According to the developer, "the choices you make can have a profound impact on the future of your settlement." No pressure, then.

Floodland will be sailing onto PC on November 15, 2022. If you fancy giving it a whirl before that, a free demo will be available as part of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Next Fest, which kicks off today and runs ꦍuntil Octob♕er 10. You can also show your support by popping the game on your wishlist and following its developer on .
