Players are tasked with building and managing a colony of survivors, making strategic decisions to ensure the community thrives despite the challenges posed by a devastated environment. With over 50 unique buildings to construct, players can focus on various aspects of survival, including resource collection, farming, and security.

In addition to managing the colony, players must also explore the harsh world outside their settlement.
