Farm, raise livestock, build workshops, trade, and stretch scarce supplies and labor—and face the consequences when relatives refuse to follow the plan.

Your family chronicle
A minimalist old-school roguelite colony sim set on the changing American frontier, 1609–1900.
Begin with little
Farm, raise livestock, build workshops, trade, and stretch scarce supplies and labor—and face the consequences when relatives refuse to follow the plan.
Decide together
Hunger or surplus, debt or growth, births, deaths, marriages, quarrels, alliances, threats, and hard-won victories become personal dilemmas. Your choices shape who inherits and what the family remembers.
Build for the next generation
Balance food, wood, metal, money, tools, goods, livestock, housing, buildings, and labor. A good year expands the ranch. A bad one demands sacrifices the family may remember for decades.
Live beneath history
Resource shortages, migration, shifting borders, new settlements, market swings, local conflicts, and new dangers reach your fields and your table. Trade, cooperate, negotiate—or face conflict.
