About the game

You are the lead engineer of Weirhaven, a dam town that has been dark since the blackout. Crank the ember engine to life, bring Unit 1 up at the control panel, and put the town back on the grid one feeder at a time. Load it too fast and the whole town goes dark. Past the dam lies a land that wasn't there before: skeleton camps, an orc-held pass, a highland village, an open-sea cove and a frozen mine.

A hands-on black start: lube oil, governor, cooling water, head gate, wickets, field, sync
Nothing of the night rises under a powered streetlight
Chop, mine, fish, dive, farm, craft and haul it all home
A town that answers: families stay or leave with the lights
