About
In a world where mysterious plants are spreading all over the earth, emitting toxic spores as they grow, a small group of survivors seeks shelter on the back of a giant, wandering creature they call 'Onbu'.
Become their leader, build their settlement and form a symbiotic relationship with Onbu to survive together in this hostile, yet beautiful post-apocalyptic world.
A functioning village is the basis of your survival. Build your settlement and expand it over Onbu’s back. Plan production chains and optimise them to utilise the limited space as efficiently as possible. Create a society that can overcome any challenge.
Living on the back of another organism comes with its own set of challenges. Will you live in symbiosis, bond with Onbu and survive on mutual trust? Or will you become a parasite, only aiming to ensure a better life for your villagers? The choice is yours.
Continuously adapt your village as you travel through a multitude of different biomes, each with its unique climate zones, opportunities and threats. Scout your environments and send out foraging missions to gather rare resources and ancient artefacts.
Remnants of the old world hold knowledge that has long been forgotten, but can be unearthed by your villagers. Find and research these technologies, but use them wisely, as progress can be a double-edged sword.
Ensure the survival of both your villagers and your Onbu, even though poisonous spores, merciless weather, bloodsucking parasites and many more challenges mean that the odds are often stacked against you.

Замечательная игра: интересный сюжет, богатый геймплей, очень красивая рисовка, классная фоновая музыка - всем рекомендую эту небольшую стратежку))
Absolutely loving this game, great village sim/rts type game, can't recommend it enough! Picked it up for my gf and a friend as well, worth every penny.
Incredible game
A very well made and thought out game with cute Studio Ghibli style characters and an even cuter mountain-sized good boy. One of the most addicting games I've played because there is so much to do constantly and while it's great fun I'm worried I will waste my life away at the PC even more than I already was doing before... By the way if you build any of the evil buildings that hurt the lil guy you're horrible and I don't like you.
very original
Early Access Review: A game about building a small wandering civilization on a giant creature's back and aesthetic is very Ghibli movies inspired, particularly Naussica of the Valley of the Wind with some notes from others as well. Certainly fun for what it is, with the usual tech tree and resource management stuff, but has the additional angle of building a relationship between your community and your massive dino-taxi that the whole settlement rides around on. I'm only a few hours in, and I can say the pace is rarely fast, so this is a more relaxed civ-builder it seems.
Beautiful, fun to play and a lovely soundtrack. Great game worth playing!
