Climate change was the catalyst for a series of events that led to the destruction of our world. Rising sea levels caused flooding of coasts. Only you can help humanity survive by leading a group of survivors on the path to redemption. Starting out as the leader of a group of lost survivors, you must acquire resources, reinvent technology, and keep the peace between warring factions. And all this to rebuild society. Explore and Exploit The world you know has sunk in the darkness of the past, replaced by islands, swamps and isolated clusters of survivors. As you gather scarce resources, you must explore a new world – island by island – helping those you can and confronting those who don't share your vision of the future. Develop your colonyThe city is not only about its inhabitants. Food, shelter, water, health, safety – the list is long and varied. You need to study technologies in a branching tree, improve buildings and train specialists. It's up to you to meet these needs. These tasks are hampered by limited resources, space, and manpower. You Are the LawSociety is only as good as its laws, and it's up to you what shape they take. Will you usher in a new utopian age of equality, or will your rule be a benign form of dictatorship? Not every group will share your vision, and the decisions you make can have a profound impact on the future of your settlement. A common goal will make your society more productive than being at odds with yourself. It is up to you to define social evolution and choose the path in the tree of law, but – as with everything – it will have its consequences.
