I really like the small-scaleness of Stranded: Alien Dawn and I can't find other games like that. Games where you're intended to have a large colony, such as Rimworld, are still fun but just don't hit that same mark for me.

I like turn-based version of this like Thea 2 or Dead in Vinland but I can't find any with the "real time with pause" style like your typical colony sim, but ALSO having small numbers.

By small, I mean preferably 1 to 10, especially 3 to 8 people being the intended or best way to play the game.

Thank you for any and all recommendations!

Unfortunately, useless for my build.

I know it's an unpopular opinion but Stranded: Alien Dawn has to be the coziest game out there.

Like the Spirit Cavern. I know we have to purchase by July 10th (I've owned the game for months). My question is will we get access to this stuff right away, like, are they in the game NOW? Will they be in the game July 10th? Or not until the 1.0 launch or just some other future time?

Thanks in advance. :)

I added it to cart and went to checkout and it told me it's not available. -_- Now I can't add it to cart and it says not available in my area. First time I've actually wanted to buy a game on this site in a while. Quite BS.

Hi everyone! I come to you looking for game recommendations.

In the past I have played games like Harvest Moon or Animal Crossing, and I like working with a small house, farm, store, etc. I played Winkeltje recently and you have a little cozy store and I liked that and all but now after I feel I have exhausted my time with that game I want something that is more similar to a house, and not necessarily a store. Farm possibly too.

I also REALLY like Plant Nursery Simulator, but again I'm looking for more of a house vibe.

Another game I like is Stranded: Alien Dawn, especially playing with just 1 person, no enemies, and a small area (like on top of a hill or surrounded by lake like a peninsula) so I can build a small house over time and gradually add to it. Sadly, that game is very lacking in the decorations, etc. department.

There's a game that I think isn't out yet but I think I saw a demo where people are organizing a room for people in different cities like Paris, New York, Berlin. I can't find the name of the game. Something like that might be nice but with objectives. However...

While trying to find the name of that game I saw one called "Whisper of the House", maybe that could be an idea for me. Hmm....

I also played a game called Against the Storm where you build a town and I'm not normally into town building games because they get boring fast for me but this game was designed to only play a town for like a couple hours then you move onto the next one. Something like that, except with a house or something would be nice too.

Or like a camper, tiny home, anything like that. I like the idea of making the most out of small spaces!

EDIT: Oh! I also have House Flipper but haven't played it much (I know it recently got remastered but I don't have that version). It somehow feels to be both too rigid AND too sandboxy at the same time. XD Like I was doing a mission where the people wanted a baby crib and something else, I don't know, but it had to be EXACTLY that what they wanted, no wiggle room, and they wanted painted in EXACT colors. But then I buy a house to renovate and it's like....I have no idea what to do. It's TOO open-ended, and I don't know what people want if I'm going to sell it. It seems on paper like it might be the type of game I want but I just don't know. Should I put more hours into it? I also don't like the cleaning part, especially scrubbing floors so much and trying to find every last piece of dirt. Just seems like boring busywork meant to waste your time. Cleaning windows was fun though. 😄

Thanks everyone for any recommendations you might have for me. 😄
