About the game

A brutal godlike village sim that melds the god game, management, and tower defense genres! Fight off hoards of monsters at night, and expand your village in the day time. Inspired by games like Black and White, Rimworld, and Dwarf Fortress but not quite like any of them.

Rise to Ruins – A wonderfully weird hidden gem that deserves so much more attention! Rise to Ruins is one of those charming little games that somehow manages to fly completely under the radar, despite being an absolute gem. It's a wonderfully strange combination of village simulation, survival, and tower defense, where you're constantly balancing the needs of your growing settlement against the increasingly…
