Hello there, Citizens!
Remember the Development Road Map that we've posted some time ago? The time has come to introduce the promised Survivor Mode to the game! It's a special feature for the most seasoned arctic survivalists among you. If you find Hard difficulty all too easy, test the limits of your ability to survive the winter apocalypse in this brand new mode! You can pause the game only by opening a menu - so there is no active pause whatsoever! - and your progress is only saved automatically and on exit, so all your decisions are final. The difficulty level itself is also more rough and demanding - meeting the people's needs or balancing the delicate economy of your city will be even harder. What's more: finishing the game in this mode will reward you with some new achievements as well. To start a new game in Survivor Mode, select a scenario and toggle the switch below the customization button.
On top of that, we believe it's a good idea to celebrate the update with something really special. That's why we have prepared a discount for you!

What is Ansel?
Ansel is a revolutionary new way to capture in-game shots and view in 360. Compose your screenshots from any position, adjust them with post-process filters, capture HDR images in high-fidelity formats, and share them in 360 degrees using your mobile phone, PC, or VR headset. That's the theory. In practice, this tool allows you - among other things - to take super cool, high resolution screenshots like this one.You can learn more about Ansel on the official website!
(Note: Ansel is available for Steam and GOG.com versions only).
