About TNW
Summary:
The game centres around the survivors of a colony ship which crashes on a strange new world, struggling to salvage the wreckage and turn it into a liveable colony. This becomes especially important after watching the ship’s message log, which reveals that a massive nuclear attack has left Earth uninhabitable, essentially wiping out the human race apart from these few hundred colonists.
Gameplay involves keeping as many colonists alive as possible by making tough decision, which will include building colony structures, salvaging wreckage, resolving problems with multiple branching outcomes, sending out exploratory missions, and managing supplies/rationing; all while playing through an intense story of political intrigue, sabotage, desperation and survival.
Engine: Ren'Py
Art style: Relatively hard SF, with a retro bent reminiscent of late-70s/early-80s science-fiction, like the human technology in Aliens
