Indie Game “Drownlight” Promises Grim City-Building in a Sunken World
Fathomlight is developing Drownlight, a dark strategy game set in a flooded world where the remnants of humanity cling to life around a vital lighthouse. The indie title blends city-building, resource management, and moral decision-making as players strive to expand their settlement and ensure the lighthouse remains lit – the last beacon against the encroaching darkness.
Drownlight casts players as a leader tasked with not only growing a city but also navigating the complex challenges of survival in a desperate situation. The developers describe the game as a “city-building survival simulator” where “secrets lurk in the raging waters,” and the fate of the city hangs in the balance should the lighthouse fail. Players must manage resources,accommodate new arrivals,and confront difficult ethical choices that will determine the survivors’ destiny.
Currently, a release date has not been announced, but interested players can follow the game’s development and add it to their wishlists on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3512480/Drownlight/.
