Frostpunk
About Frostpunk
Frostpunk is 11 bit studios' city-building and survival strategy game set during a freezing ice age catastrophe. As the leader of one of humanity's last refuges, players build a city around a massive coal-powered generator, forced to make tough moral decisions (allowing child labor, enacting authoritarian laws) while managing warmth, food, and resources. The game's most striking aspect is the tension between 'surviving at any cost' and 'preserving humanity' — every decision affects your people's hope or trust. With its dark, atmospheric visual style and challenging scenarios, it added a moral depth to the city-building genre.
