Surviving the Aftermath is a Science Fiction settlement simulation game released on October 19, 2019, developed by Iceflake Studios and published by Paradox Interactive. On PC, it was a temporary Epic Games Store exclusive on early access, and was released on Steam on October 22, 2020, with the game leaving early access and entering 1.0 on November 16th 2021. A Nintendo Switch version was planned for Spring 2022, but actually ended up coming out on November 17, 2021 instead.The game is a city builder, like Tropico but set after what is implied to be a nuclear/lunar apocalypse. You are a leader who must ensure the survival of your colonists in the face of meteor strikes, nuclear fallout, extreme winter, mutant animals, and marauders.3 DLC expansions were planned for post-release support. "New Alliances", released on November 17 2021, added new faction alliance mechanics to the game, allowing you to form a large coalition with other colonies to oppose an enemy coalition. "Shattered Hope", released on November 4 2022, added a new hope/anguish mechanic, a new resource (lunar dust), and new structures. "Rebirth", released on the 16th of March 2023, adds a new threat in the form of the mutating blight that can corrupt and mutate creatures that stray to close to it and the ability to terraform wasteland into arable ground. | |

Side Quest: Occasionally, your colony center will spawn an optional quest for your specialists, ranging from defeating a local group of bandits to investigating radio signals to exploring pre-collapse ruins. | |

Resources Management Gameplay | |
| Surviving the Aftermath (Video Game) / int_40b1b989 | comment |
Resources Management Gameplay: A huge part of the gameplay. Buildings need construction material stockpiled to be built as well as to be repaired when it inevitably is damaged or worn down. Colonists require sufficient food, and not only in totals, they require a variety of food and food that's well prepared to stay fully healthy. In addition to being drunk, many buildings require water, and more advanced buildings require electricity as well. Various medicines for treating ailments, fiber for clothmaking, cloths for wearing, tools for doing work, and all the variety of more advanced materials need to be sourced. In the early game, many of these will be scavenged from the environment around the colony as well as ruins further afield, but options to produce or trade for those resources open up as the colony develops. | |

Fling a Light into the Future | |
| Surviving the Aftermath (Video Game) / int_4aafd3c8 | comment |
Fling a Light into the Future: It's revealed in the main quest that the governments that survived the first part of the cataclysm attempted this, building enormous doomsday bunkers to preserve large swathes of people and pre-collapse knowledge. They failed, miserably, and the governments decided to abandon the projects in favor of petty warfare over dwindling resources. The colony quickly discovers that the bunkers were also meant to survive an approaching apocalypse, and the colony has to start up the work again if there's any hope of preserving what little knowledge still remains. | |

Sand Worm | |
| Surviving the Aftermath (Video Game) / int_526fc27c | comment |
Sandworm: Technically they're giant mutant centipedes, but still referred to as "sandworms". Like the namesake, they are burrowers and can mostly be found in sandy areas, but rather than "swim" they seem to be ambush predators, digging underground bivouacs to lie in and conserve energy while waiting for prey to draw near. They spit damaging compounds, have a huge health pool, and generally require several specialists to take down. Thankfully there are no more than a few of them in any one map and they don't move from their starting position- if one of your colonists blunders into one, you can just move the colonist away before they die and the creature won't follow you. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Surviving the Aftermath (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: The passage of time in the game is measured in days, with your people supposedly running around the colony screen in realtime as dawn turns to dusk and back again. However, babies are born, grow to adulthood, and eventually die of old age while you play, meaning that the average life expectancy of a human in this setting is... about 20 days. Additionally, specialists are apparently unaging, since they can only die by being killed in combat, no matter how long you play for. | |

Scavenger World | |
| Surviving the Aftermath (Video Game) / int_74e9a5b1 | comment |
Scavenger World: Most of the construction resources you find around the settlement are the ruins of older buildings that your colonists gradually break down so other things can be built from them. Most of the other resources that the colony needs like cloths, tools, and medicine you need to send specialists out into the world map to scavenge from ruins further afield (and science is almost exclusively gained by this method.) | |

Tech Tree | |
| Surviving the Aftermath (Video Game) / int_7b4d0c39 | comment |
Tech Tree: Decades of living in a post-industrial society has deprived your colonists of knowledge of farming and wilderness survival (and even if specific colonists understand these things it takes effort to socialize that knowledge to others enough to be effective.) Unusually for most games of this genre, you mainly gain technology points by sending specialists to research in the ruins of museums and libraries. | |

Apocalypse How: Class 2.

And the main quest reveals more cosmic devastation is right on the horizon... | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Surviving the Aftermath (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: Colonists go right across the line from "frustratingly stupid" into Too Dumb to Live, regularly refusing to acquire themselves a new tool or protective garment when their old one breaks, or decent food when they're on the verge of starvationnote it was even worse before their behavior was tweaked to seek out food when they're at 20% remaining satiety instead of 10%, with your people frequently starving to death by the dozen in the middle of a colony that was basically a giant buffet, if such things are even slightly out of the way of their routine. "What, there's a high-quality Superior Tool and a durable set of Protective Clothing in that storage unit over there? But that's a whole fifty feet away! No thanks, I'd prefer to carry on clearing up radioactive waste with my bare hands wearing only my casual clothing in the middle of a snowstorm..." | |

Sickly Green Glow: One of the disasters that can befall your settlement is a shower of radioactive fallout, rendered on screen as a green glowing fog. Until Update 8 (Tainted Earth), areas of nuclear waste in the environment also appeared glowing green; now all pollutants, whether nuclear, chemical, or biological, glow magenta. | |

Acceptable Breaks from Reality | |
| Surviving the Aftermath (Video Game) / int_b6e1d40b | comment |
Acceptable Breaks from Reality: At the start, your humble Medical Tent can successfully treat any ailment a colonist suffers — injuries, infections, even radiation sickness and mutation — without any medical supplies (having the relevant medicine for a problem simply lets the patient heal faster). Unrealistic? Very. But on any real difficulty level, you'll have enough trouble keeping your colonists in shape even with this advantage. | |

Money Is Not Power: Conspicuously averted, given the After the End setting. Other colonies, mercenary specialists, and even bandits will accept silver coins as currency, despite that there is no government to back them. Of course, you still have to dig these coins up among the ruins. | |

Hold the Line | |
| Surviving the Aftermath (Video Game) / int_c1105f41 | comment |
Hold the Line: When your base is assaulted by most bandits, they will first attempt to breach the front gate. Depending on how strong your gate is and the quality of the people manning it, the bandits can either be driven back completely, moderately crippled when they begin their assault in earnest, or barely even affected. Rather irritatingly, your gate falls as soon as its durability reaches 20% rather than 0, for no particular reason. | |

| Surviving the Aftermath (Video Game) / int_d2c0e2ed | comment |
Schmuck Bait: The Stormdome is a massive brawling pit that is quite cheap to build as it doesn't require the Component or Electronics resources, only requires 12 power and provides a whopping 80 Entertainment value, four times as much as the early Brawl Pit without using any more space. The main upgrade on the Brawl Pit is that it has an enclosed steel roof. Which attracts the lightning during Magnetic Storm catastrophe, focusing on them and causing fires that will destroy them. Many players will have built these before they even know that the Magnetic Storm is coming in their first play through. | |

Random Event | |
| Surviving the Aftermath (Video Game) / int_f9a49c92 | comment |
Random Event: Every few days or so, your colony will have an event of some kind that will require you to make a choice. The results of your choices are also random- sometimes letting people keep that shiny golden idol they discovered as an object of worship rather than melting it down for material will result in an increase in happiness, sometimes doing the exact same thing will just provoke a heated fight, causing a loss of happiness and resulting in several injuries. | |
