Deal | Loved by 92% of players, this city builder is 50% off on Steam

In a world ruled by cats, you lead mice who must build colonies on wild islands rich in resources to meet the demands of their masters. However, space is limited, and you'll need to use strategy to achieve your goals. 

You arrive on an island by boat with a small group of mice and limited resources. You’ll then need to build structures and set up automated production chains. Each of your mice has unique skills, strengths, and weaknesses. You’ll need to assign them to different tasks, such as fishing and farming, while taking these factors into account. You can also send them underground, to work in industrial complexes, or aboard ships to find trading partners.

To meet the masters’ demands, you’ll need to build both vertically and underground. Modify the environment to expand your production lines and overcome obstacles. However, the weather can slow your progress by affecting your mice’s enthusiasm or destroying your crops. Thus, you’ll have to find a balance between keeping your mice happy and meeting the cats’ demands.
