This is Captain of Industry. As the title page blurb says,
It was released in early access on May 31, 2022 and there has seemed to be a pretty constant series of patches and one major update, with another one planned in Q1 of next year. The Steam reviews are "Very Positive" with a 94% rating and a SteamDB Rating of 90.41%.Land your crew of survivors on an abandoned island and survive! Mine raw materials, grow food, build factories, manufacture products, research new tech, and trade with others. Become an industrial superpower! But this is no easy task, you will be put to the test to keep your settlement alive.
There is just a lot of stuff in the game. Check out a GIF of the technology tree.
There is a pretty good tutorial to hold your hand. I'm an hour into the game and am finding it rather interesting. More blurb from the store page:
That's a critical point about growing food. You have a population of workers and their families and you need to provide housing and food. And not just some generic "food", there are a number of categories which can be grown or raised.ABOUT THIS GAME
Your journey will start on an abandoned island with a small crew of loyal workers. In order to survive, you will need to mine raw materials from the earth, grow food, build factories, manufacture products, construct vehicles, research new technologies, explore your surroundings, and trade with other islands. If you do things right, you'll work your way up towards an industrial superpower and you can even start a space program! But this is no easy task and you will be put to the test to keep your settlement alive.
So there's a lot to the game. Graphics are fairly primitive but that's not bothering me. The UI is pretty straightforwards and I've not had any issues, but it is early days yet. So I'll keep playing and post more impressions if folks want them.
