Build your own steampunk ice age society in Frostpunk

At its core, Frostpunk a city-building game, complete with managing resources and exploring terrain. But creators 11 Bit Studios, who made 2014’s This War of Mine, also force players to make moral decisions that can have society-wide consequences as they struggle to survive.

Heat is life in Frostpunk, which is slated for release on PC sometime this year. In a 19th century world devastated by a new ice age, you lead a small band of survivors, building up a city and mining resources to fuel your steampower technology. If you run out of coal or don’t build enough shelters, your people begin to fall ill and will die.
