You take on the role of settlers – pioneers venturing into wild, mythical lands where every day is a struggle for survival. Build walls, workshops, and traps to protect your settlement from lurking dangers. Cultivate the land, harvest crops, and satisfy your people’s hunger before night falls. When darkness descends, the world becomes hostile and unforgiving – only those ready to face Slavic monsters will survive until dawn.🧱 Build and Expand Your SettlementStart with nothing and grow your settlement from the ground up. Construct workshops, storage buildings, and defenses. Strengthen your walls, set up traps, and prepare for attacks from both nature and the unknown.<video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3882880/extras/56602c734012bb50cd3ea6289386f53e.poster.avif?t=1770213945" width=800 height=188 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3882880/extras/56602c734012bb50cd3ea6289386f53e.webm?t=1770213945" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3882880/extras/56602c734012bb50cd3ea6289386f53e.mp4?t=1770213945" type="video/mp4"></video>🌲 Explore the Wild Lands Venture into the unknown, traverse forests and swamps, uncover ancient relics, hidden places, and the secrets of distant tribes from faraway lands. Across the entire map, you’ll find various resources, minerals, and rare gems essential for developing your settlement and crafting powerful tools. The farther you push into the wilderness, the greater the risk of encountering older and more powerful monsters — but also wandering travelers and merchants from whom you can obtain exotic items.👹 Battle Slavic Monsters Face creatures from ancient legends – Leshy, Rusalka, Południca, Utopiec, and other dark beings that haunt dense forests and forgotten ruins on the edge of the map.<h2 class="bb_tag" >DEMO VERSION – DECEMBER 2025 </h2>The current version of the game is only a showcase build. It contains several limitations and does not yet include all planned features. • access to only part of the development tree • only one settler available • no COOP mode • only one save file can be created (the save system is still being developed, and new variables are constantly being added to the code. Because of this, older saves may sometimes fail to load in newer versions. I will do my best to prevent this — if this note disappears, it means the issue has been resolved.)<h2 class="bb_tag" >EARLY ACCESS – MARCH 2026 FULL VERSION 1.0.0 – SEPTEMBER 2026 </h2>• introduction of a hint/help system and keyboard shortcuts • expanded and organized development tree with new technologies, workbenches, traps, and fortifications • balancing prices of items and placeable objects • crafting a greater variety of weapons, armor, food, and elixirs • ability to grow more plant species, including fertilizing and irrigation • adding new monsters with diverse stats • character progression and leveling • expanded trading with NPCs and dynamic item prices • introduction of ranged units and ranged weapons • graphics/audio settings + saving configuration • multiplayer mode (co-op) – network connection • improved sound design, SFX + ambient • ability to name your character • improved user interface (UI) and end-game summary • game optimization – higher FPS“The game is being developed after working hours by two people, but we are committed to delivering the project as we planned.
