Frostpunk
The last city on a frozen Earth, a giant generator, and laws you will hate yourself for signing.
What you actually do
Keep a city alive around a coal-powered generator during an endless winter. Gather resources, build, research, and pass laws that keep people alive, sometimes at a terrible cost.
Who will love it
Players who want a city builder with real moral choices and a lot of pressure.
The Book of Laws
Laws change how your people live, work and are treated. Many are uncomfortable. That tension is the point.
The cold
Temperature drops through each scenario. Planning for the next storm keeps you busy and nervous.
Short scenarios
Each scenario is a self-contained story of a few hours. Good for players who prefer an ending.
Plus
- Gripping atmosphere
- Meaningful choices
- Contained scenarios
Minus
- Stressful by design
- Bleak themes
Bottom line
A city builder that asks what you are willing to do to survive.
