The city-building genre has gone from strength to strength the last few years (admittedly with the unfortunate exception of) Developers far and wide have spun out virtual urban planning from its modern metropolitan origins in dozens of weird and wonderful ways. We've built cities in,, and in a world populated. There's even a city-builder set on the

Now, DarkSwitch invites you to embrace your inner wood elf, by constructing a fantasy metropolis around the trunk of an enormous tree. One might even be tempted to call it a Lothlorien simulator, if Tolkien's elvish woodland was threatened by a creeping fog that drives people mad.

You need not only to construct buildings, but also wooden platforms to support them, creating your own foundations that sprawl from the tree's vast trunk, and connecting these tiers together with ladders and elevators.

Constructing this city requires a vast amount of resources, so you'll need to build a variety of resource gathering and production buildings. At a basic level, this means building logging outposts, fisheries, and metal collecting stations. But more advanced structures include lumberjack walkers—giant, caterpillar-like tree-felling machines.

Not only is the fog capable of terrorising your citizens in and of itself, there are also things that lurk within it that will actively attack your city. You can push back the fog by constructing light sources on the ground, while magical watchtowers will help you keep the fog's spectral lurkers away.

In addition, this being a more survivalist city-builder, you'll also have to make tough choices that will define the game's narrative and shape your society.
