Surviving the Aftermath

Surviving the Aftermath is a simulator of a colony that is reassembling itself after a global catastrophe. The player is left with a handful of survivors, an empty site and a constant lack of everything at once. People demand food, water, shelter and medicine, and resources have to be obtained outside the camp. Units go on raids for supplies and do not always return: the map is full of dangers. In addition to your colony, there are neighboring settlements with which you can trade, quarrel, or unite against a common enemy. Random events change the situation, so a rainy day reserve is not a luxury here. The design is modest, the interface is detailed, and the pace is calm and requires thoughtfulness. It’s worth mentioning separately about specialists: in addition to ordinary residents, there are people with special skills, and their availability determines what problems will be solved. In addition to the camp, there is a world map with dangers, finds and encounters, and expeditions are sent there. Neighboring colonies have their own policies: some trade, others demand, others fight. Random events such as illnesses or attacks force us to keep a reserve. The difficulty is customizable, so the game can be adjusted to calm construction or hard survival. Tasks are divided into urgent and long-term, and the choice depends on what you have to sacrifice first. Buildings require maintenance, so the camp grows with an eye on resources, and not in a row. Specialists develop over time, opening up new opportunities for the colony. For those players who love survival with planning and calculation, the Surviving the Aftermath gives many reasons to count resources.
