A small Antarctic town with wind turbines and forest at golden hour, a dark crystal field on the horizon

In development · Coming to Steam Early Access

Tempest Fall

Found humanity's last cities on the Antarctic ice and win the land back from Tempestite, a crystal that turns the world to stone.

The world

The cold is the last line of defence.

Tempest Station exploded, and the crystal it carried fell on every continent. Tempestite petrifies everything it touches, and it is still spreading, faster every year as the petrified land warms the planet.

What is left of humanity holds on in Antarctica, where the cold still slows it. Your task: build the first city on the ice, push the crystal back, and begin the long work of bringing Tempest Station back online.

A crystal that fights back

Tempestite spreads by contact, piles up into crystal mountains and roots into the ground beneath it. It sleeps through the Antarctic winter and wakes in the short summer.

Break it, then heal the land

Breaker Towers shatter the crystal with a resonant field, harvester drones carry the shards home, and Ground Purifiers clean the infested soil until the city can build on it again.

Build a city on the ice

Homes and jobs, power, water and heat, research, forestry and industry. The sand and ore you recover from the crystal become the roads and buildings of the next district.

People who live there

Residents work, skate and walk the parks, and count on you through heat waves, cold snaps and fires, answered by fire, police and air-ambulance drones.
