Frostpunk - Icing On The City-Building Cake

You think you’re a good person, and then the coal runs out. Everything is freezing over and suddenly you’re sending a small child out into the elements to fix dangerous machinery – you care little for their survival, so long as your generator whirs back into action.

In most city-building sims you’re battling budgets and sewage issues. In Frostpunk the biggest threats you’ll face are falling temperatures and the desolation of your population. And yes, that’s really one of the gauges you need to watch out for. This engrossing, beautifully bleak sim from 11 Bit Studios isn’t messing around.
