Developer Balancing Monkey Games announced today that Before We Leave will launch for PC as an Epic Games Store exclusive on May 8.
Before We Leave is a civilization-building game like, well, Civilization. But this indie title is a completely nonviolent approach to the genre, so you won’t be building armies and wiping out other cities. Instead, the focus is on rebuilding after a natural disaster and eventually expanding your society to new planets.
If the lack of any violence sounds like a bummer, don’t worry. There are still giant space whales that can eat planets.
Balancing Monkey Games is based in Aotearoa, New Zealand. This is the studio’s first game.
