As Far As The Eye is a game developed by Unexpected that is currently 80% off on Steam. You'll have to lead a tribe, make the right decisions, construct buildings, and escape a threat that could destroy everything.

Available on Steam since September 10, 2020, As Far As The Eye is a nomadic turn-based city builder in which you must help a tribe reach the center of the world, known as The Eye. Without any combat, you’ll have to make choices and find the right balance between resource management and survival.

Each journey is procedurally generated, and you'll need to find the best path to reach your goal. During your journey, you can explore, search, and find hidden treasures.

However, you’ll always have to move forward to survive the wave that engulfs everything in its path. Thus, you’ll need to harvest resources, build structures, and then find your next destination. You can also upgrade your pupils and buildings.

In addition, you'll encounter caravans with which you can trade for resources. But keep in mind that even though there are no enemies in this game, your actions will have consequences.
