Whether it's Rimworld, Civilization 7, or Simcity, most city-building games are about exploiting the natural world for your benefit. Terra Nil is the antidote to all that - a game where your goal is to restore barren, empty wastelands into flourishing ecosystems. Purify toxins from the soil, clear trash from the oceans, and gradually encourage flora to regrow and fauna to repopulate, then leave without a trace. Already boasting an 87%-positive Steam review score, it's just been given a healthy boost thanks to a free update from developer Free Lives.

We’re overjoyed to let you all know that Heatwave, our newest free content update, is now available on Steam!
Deserts and Savannahs on the Far Side of the World
In Heatwave, we’ve added the brand new arid region to the game with never before seen flora and fauna in the world of Terra Nil. We have sandy deserts, salt pans, canyons and floodplains. You’ll be populating these landscapes with some of the world’s most famous animals: elephants, lions, giraffes and rhinos to name a few.
Parched Oasis
In the first arid map, you’ll be restoring an inland delta, inspired by the real world Okavango Delta. You’ll need to burn alien vegetation to restore the rivers, before creating savannah and alluvial vegetation. Savannah has a special interaction with elephants, based on the mutually beneficial relationship they share in real life.
Canyon Peaks
In the second arid level, inspired by the famous Grand Canyon, a massive gorge bisects the map. On one side, you’ll need to deal with oil fires which lower your resources if they get out of control, and on the other, a radioactive city needs to be cleansed. This map also introduces our new favourite character, ERW1N.
ERW1N is our very own recycling rover, who can combat radiation, recycle buildings, and scan for seeds. ERW1N is controlled with a joystick minigame.
Fracked Floodplain
The final challenge of the arid region is a floodplain decimated by industry. You’ll need to use creative methods to clean the oil, before restoring life to the watering holes on the edge of the desert. Finally, create a biofuel-powered rocket to reach your existing spacecraft in orbit.
Photography Mode
We’ve long since wanted to have a photo mode in Terra Nil, and now we finally do! This new mode allows you to take pictures of animals that you’ve made happy. Photos can be stored in your handbook (and on your hard drive). There’s also a scoring system - see how good a photo you can take!
Heatwave has been a labour of love for us. Both the arid region and the photography system were features cut from the original game to hit our deadline. So it’s fair to say that we’re incredibly happy to finally be able to share our vision of Terra Nil, complete with all 5 major climate zones, with all of you!
Thanks for all your support so far, and in the future.

African penguins are seriously adorable. However, they are also critically endangered and could become extinct in the wild by 2035.
That’s why we partnered with SANCCOB to help rescue and rehabilitate these amazing birds. We've already adopted Edgar, Jagger, and Flipper, and now we're inviting you to join our "waddle" of penguin heroes. For less than the cost of a fancy dinner, you can adopt your own penguin and appear on our community leaderboard.
Curious? Watch the video and see how you can help make a real difference.
