Frostpunk

Frostpunk is an economic strategy and city building simulator in extremely harsh conditions. There are no wars here: the main enemy is one - global cooling, which is slowly killing all living things. The city needs coal for the generator, steel for buildings and food for residents, and the supplies around are melting with every cold snap. Errors in calculations cost people their lives. The player receives a generator around which humanity's last refuge is built. Coal, wood, steel and food are used for warmth, shelter and treatment, and laws determine what people will become: a disciplined society or something more severe. Residents work in shifts, and their health depends on warmth, food and medicine. Workers can be sent to dangerous areas, but this affects their morale. A separate mechanic is hope and dissatisfaction: decisions made change the mood of the townspeople, and excesses sometimes produce results that are then embarrassing. There are enough events, and each requires a choice without a good option. Rules are decided by vote, and some of them work against their own people: child labor or extended shifts provide warmth, but are expensive. The campaigns differ in scenarios, and the additional mode is built around an endless winter. The development team is known for other projects about difficult decisions, and their approach is especially clear here. After the campaign, an endless mode opens, where you need to hold the city for as long as possible. Mods and scenarios from the community have grown around the base campaigns, and individual players lead cities without a single loss. Anyone who likes strategies with a moral load will find this cold city suitable.
