Kainga: Seeds of Civilization is an upcoming roguelite village-builder where your choices will shape your chances at survival. “Taking on the role of the Thinker, the leader of the village, you will need to adapt to the procedurally generated environment and surroundings and make the right choices to allow your people and village to flourish.”
One of the unique aspects of the game will be just how long play sessions are intended to last. Instead of drawn out giant world build sessions in a lot of games where world building and maintaining are staples Kainga is focusing on shorter 30 to 60 minute challenges, making progress between runs feel like it impacts gameplay long term.
Features of Kainga: Seeds of Civilization include:
Create A Unique Culture. Using the unique thinker skill tree, select research from a diverse branching technology tree inspired by civilizations around the world, make your mark on the world, with your choice of buildings, festivals, resource production and more!
