I like a city builder, me, and newly revealedBeware Of Light, from tiny indie studio Bajka Games, has a interesting hook (and a Ronseal-type name, which you know I appreciate). Your advanced colony ship has veered off course, and you’ve crashed on a dead, desert planet with no water or fossil resources like oil. It’s sort of a hotFrostpunk, because you have to manage manpower, there are limited resources to distribute, and nobody is going to help. You must live. What do now?
It seems much more sober than any of those IPs cited, though, and RTS elements are very unlikely. This is aboutsurvivalagainst all odds, using the sort of “hard sci-fi” technology that makes Elon stand to attention (surely a point against it). The colony sim elements of this make it perhaps less my genre, and my tastes do tend towards the bucolic where city builders are concerned, but I’m intrigued, and will be keeping an eye out for a trailer to see how the business of slowly dehydrating works in practise. Beware Of Light is “coming soon” onSteam.
