SAVE YOUR PEOPLE FROM LIFE

Main Features

• Be the mayor of a fledgling new town in Hamsteria.
• Convert citizens to your cause and bring the gift of eternal life to all.
• Decide how to rule your town in a huge collection of story events where you must make choices.
• Branching mini-stories that lead to other events based on the choices you made.
• Also, you're a hamster. Hamsters are cute. Do you like hamsters?
• Who left all these :peanuts: peanuts here?

How to play

Mouse and keyboard is required.

• Left-click to interact with stuff, select buildings, etc.
• Right-click to cancel building placement or deselect buildings.

Keep your Unrest low - if your people are fed up, they will remove you by force! You win when you convert all your people (when you have no :twomenholding_hands: Population left). You lose when your :fire: Unrest is too high.

Build Shrines near your Houses to begin converting people. There are several other buildings you can use to control your :fire: Unrest, :twomenholding_hands: Population and :peanuts: Peanuts income. Check the tooltips for more info!

GAMEPLAY TIPS

Having trouble getting the City to listen? Here's a couple tips to help you out:

• Many buildings react to each other if they are close by. For example, Shrines require Houses, and the Church is not enthused with occult structures... Abodes are like Houses, except the Church doesn't like them.
• Avoid building near the Church at the start of the game. Many useful buildings, like Abodes and Mines, cause :fire: Unrest if they are near the Church.
• Once you have some Taverns to help quell :fire: Unrest, deconstruct the Farms. Otherwise, the Farms will keep producing :twomenholding_hands: Population, which is bad because it keeps moving your goalpost.

Changelog
