The birdfolk of Giwi are explorers, inventors, and pioneers, and now they’re taking their knowledge beyond their homeworld. Their destination? Helia - a volcanic moon full of uncharted wonders, untapped resources, and… unexpected dangers.
To thrive on Helia, you’ll need to establish colonies, build up production chains, and master resource logistics. Move materials between settlements, carefully balance supply and demand, and keep your industries running smoothly. All without the usual stress of city-builders.
But exploration comes with risks—strange creatures lurk across the landscape, and the only way to survive is through smart positioning and careful expansion.
Whether you love relaxing city-builders, satisfying logistics puzzles, or strategic exploration, Scorchlands lets you play at your own pace. No timers, no pressure—just you, your colony, and endless possibilities.
