If you have full child labor implemented, you can have children doing a variety of tasks, from the physically strenuous woodcutting and mining to healing patients on the brink of death, without any adult supervision. For gameplay purposes, children are just as effective at any workplace they can work at as adults, except with a chance of getting injured or killed while doing dangerous jobs.The same workers who spent the whole day gathering resources can still spend all night putting up houses without any penalty. Building and road construction and disassembly can take place at any time of day or night, without any regard for the temperature outside.It's a good thing that's all it does considering it can get cold enough to freeze carbon dioxide. The cold mechanic works more like a subtraction modifier to building warmth.Later on, an "endless mode" was added, with different settings: Endurance, Builders (where players have to build a generator) and Serenity.įrostpunk contains examples of these tropes: The default scenario, A New Home, has the player assume the role of a Captain who's in charge of New London (named as such if the city survives) additional scenarios ( The Arks, The Refugees and The Fall of Winterhome) involving other locations are unlocked after surviving for 20 days in A New Home. Unlike the majority of city management games, the game includes emotional and survival aspects with having to manage meagre resources and passing laws to prevent the populace crossing the Despair Event Horizon, which involves giving them hope to survive by working together, or by fear and terror and forcing them to do your bidding under penalty of death. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic 1888, where ice storms have ravaged the world and left only small pockets of civilization around heat-giving generators. Frostpunk is a survival-based city-building game released on April 24th, 2018 by Polish developer 11 Bit Studios, the makers of This War of Mine.
