YOUR NEXT “ONE MORE GO”

A small game with plenty to get stuck into.

You are an elementalist who rules a river village on the edge of an Empire that is starting to notice you.

Forty-five realm events, each with two ways to answer, from a water dispute to a toll nobody can confirm.

Six named characters can bring you a three-part request as your realm develops.

Run your valley in real time, pause whenever you like and speed it up to four times.

STILL BEING MADE

Wizards: Dominion of the Arcane is on its way.

IN DEVELOPMENT

Coming to Windows

You rule Riverhold Vale as an elementalist, starting with twelve villagers, a village hall, three homes, a granary and a workshop. The realm runs in real time. Choose how your workers spend their days, watch food, timber, stone, metal, coin, mana, knowledge and influence move, and send your ruler across the valley with a click. As the days pass, realm events land on your desk: a disputed boundary, a fever in one row of homes, a toll nobody can confirm, a rival’s survey stakes moved inside your line. Every event has two answers, and every answer costs or earns something. Six named characters can arrive with a three-part request of their own, from a mine collapse to a stone eater loose in the forest.
