The Next World Released

The Next World is now available on Steam for Windows, OS X, and Linux, offering what's described as "a visual novel/strategy hybrid" they liken to games like The Banner Saga, King of Dragon Pass, and Oregon Trail. This involves managing a "doomed" stranded space colony. A launch trailer introduces the game's hand-drawn style and its story, which originated as a comic book inspired by Outpost 2, a classic RTS released by Dynamix back in the day. Here's word:

The Next World is a visual novel/strategy hybrid in the vein of The Banner Saga, King of Dragon Pass and Oregon Trail. Your colony ship has crashed on a barren world. A mere 758 colonists survive. The captain is dead and all eyes are on you - will you keep the human race alive by making the tough decisions that no one else can?

Choose their strategy - starvation, sabotage and even black market moonshine will compete for your attention as you build new structures, salvage the wreckage for valuable resources, and try to squeak by another day. Live their story - the relationships you forge along the way lend real weight to the outcome of your choices as you lead this desperate band of survivors towards one of several possible conclusions.
