About


Nested Lands is a multiplayer settlement-building RPG set in a dark, plague-ravaged world where twisted madmen and bandits roam the land. Your life will depend on how well you manage and grow your settlement. Fortunately, you're not alone in this dark world — your peasants will help you gather resources, craft items, and build defenses as you lead them through danger and privation. But remember, every choice you make has consequences and can lead your village to prosperity or a senseless death from the plague.
Start from a clean slate and build a brand-new civilization. Assign each peasant a specific role and order them to build, craft, or gather the resources you need to survive the hardships you will face. With dozens of upgradable buildings and hundreds of items to craft and customize, including farms and animals, you're free to shape your settlement as you see fit. But don't let your growing dynasty blind you — hostile forces lurk nearby, ready to spill your blood.

The only way to break through the endless darkness of Nested Lands is to gather the other survivors who share your plight, but have yet to fully give up hope. Save and recruit peasants during your journey across the world. But keep in mind that they will need your protection.
Harsh weather and the coming winter are also your sworn enemies, and the highly detailed world full of random events won’t grant you a single moment’s rest.


Start from nothing. Rise from the bottom, overcome monumental challenges, and make your fame echo across the Nested Lands. But be careful - all your decisions will be carefully watched and evaluated. Will your name be praised by all, or will its very sound instill fear into the common folk who dwell in this open world? The choice is yours.


The disfigured nature of the world makes survival even more challenging. Before facing other threats, you need to secure the basics — a lack of medicine can wipe your village out faster than any blade. Craft, improve your skills, and endure the harsh reality of Nested Lands. Brutal weather and the coming winter may be your greatest foes, but random encounters won't offer any respite.

Play your way - explore the Nested Lands alone, or embrace the horrors of this dystopian world with your friends in co-op mode.

I’ve been playing this game in co-op with my girlfriend (with me hosting). While the core gameplay is actually fun, the saving system combined with a catastrophic bug completely wiped out all of our progress. The Bug: When traveling between maps—whether by boat or by pig—you randomly fall through the floor into an endless black void. The absolute worst part about this is that the game forces an autosave the moment you travel. You have zero control over this. By the time the map loads and you realize you are trapped in an infinite loop of falling, the game has already overwritten your last working save file in the background. If you don't react within a millisecond to hit Alt + F4, your save file is permanently bricked. Since the game only allows for one single save slot, there is no going back. The in-game "Unstuck" function is completely useless because the characters are stuck in a permanent falling state. Regarding the Support: I reported this game-breaking bug to the developers in detail two weeks ago. Absolutely nothing has been fixed. Instead of prioritizing a hotfix for a critical error that literally deletes hours of player progress, they chose to patch new features into the game instead. Talk about wrong priorities. As long as a broken autosave system can randomly and irreversibly destroy your entire save file during normal fast travel, I strongly advise against buying this game! If your pig or boat glitches through the map just once, all your invested time is gone for good.
This is an Early Access Review as of 6/14/2026, and I pray things improve. So your looking for a fun game? This one peak your interest? Survival, town & labor management, great story & dialog, combat, maybe even a little adult content?? Well do I have a deal for you! How would you like to play instead a game of fetch quests, back and forth over long distances, all while everything runs at 15 FPS, and you stop moving whenever you run in to anything in the game because every item stops your movement. BUT WAIT there's more! you will be surrounded by a thick fog that limits your visibility to 20 feet 80% of the time. Well I know what your thinking at least there is a compelling setting that likely has a interesting story right, not even remotely! Every dialog does not flow, NPC's are without any personality and poorly written, it is painfully 2 dimensional, and will leave you like me begging for the game to be over. Combat is horrible, and to be avoided at all costs, enemies are more of an annoyance than a source of fun, thank god there is an ability to stealth kill, however, if you are like me the moment you get a bow and can head shot your enemies, that's all you will do. But wont that alert the bad guy's buddies and result in combat? Nope, fear not you can kill snipe and the guy standing next to him doesn't mind at all. I spent over 50 hours looking for the diamond in this rough.. there wasn't one.
It crashes, a lot. Every time you do a small task you better save. I have 76 hour of game time played and have had approx. 30 crashes. About 40 hour in I got hit with a 'plague wind' that never went away. If I moved even slightly out of cover I would die. I had to start completely over. I was hoping for better. I didn't get it. I think my current save is corrupted because if I can even log in there is only 3-4 minutes of game play before it crashes. There are many issues that need to be addressed before I would ever look at this game again.
В целом игра выглядит не плохо. Но она НЕВЕРОЯТНО СЫРАЯ. Игра не лагает, работает нормально. В целом играть интересно. Но боевка сейчас - это кал. Допустим, как драться я понял. Но почему то трупы исчезают слишком быстро. Из 3 противников успеваешь залутать только одного. Анимации сейчас - кал. Надо дорабатывать. В целом, ребят, вот вам палец в вверх, работаете, и все будет хорошо. УДАЧИ!
EXTREMELY BORING if you're playing it co-op. If you're not the server you can't do anything in the game except run around searching boxes and collecting the same old stuff. It became a grind for me as i couldn't help with the workers or the village. BORING!!
Recommended with the caveat that it needs to cook for a bit. Get it while it's on sale, but you can wait until it's out of early access to actually play it. Good bones for a survival-building game.
Incredible features and great adventures on offer, there is some problems that need to be ironed out but once it has those kinks ironed out it will be one of the best games ever.
Это играбельно, но сыро. Мы залетели с кентом чисто на выходные и прошли всё что было. Иногда было душновато, но грёбаная атмосфера тёмной безнадёги и пост. апока в средневековье, а так же эмбиент нас захватила полностью. Есть история мира и событий. Выглядит откровенно всрато, но неожиданно удивляет обилие маленьких мелочей. Боёвка, ну она есть, видели и хуже. Стрельба, у вас рейлган вместо лука. Лут есть, но очевидно пока его не много. Строительство в наличии, неудобное, но и не неиграбельное. Управление поселением тоже нуждается в доработке, впрочем как и много всего в игре. Если говорить кратко, я точно хочу следить за проектом и вернутся сюда наверно через год. Меня очень радует что обновления выходят часто, что даёт надежду на развитие игры.
This game is a no go from me for now. Maybe something there in the future but there is not enough there. Feels thrown together. If you can get it on sale, maybe if you like trying new things but IDK. Just too basic. Graphics are ok but nothing great. Player feels stiff. Building is lame. gathering animations are bad.
目前遊戲穩定性不佳,整體遊玩下來NPC與敵人的AI邏輯有點笨。 目前跟朋友時,朋友有遇到在海灘上有嚴重掉偵的問題,完全影響到遊玩。 村莊建設的部分還算喜歡,但目前建築放置的選轉角度很奇怪,沒辦法轉到我要的位置以及擺放位置。 目前還有遇到在遊玩一段時間後,調整畫質就會卡住那個UI介面,沒辦法關閉的嚴重性問題。 整體來說還是蠻喜歡的,但就是效能優化上不太好,期待未來遊戲能更完善這方面。
