If possible, would you like to go back to ancient times to start a factory, refine oil, or even build a large computer? With the accidental fall of a meteorite, you traveled back to River Town a thousand years ago and became a workshop owner. And the story will begin from here……

What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical RPG game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $8.69, set in September 2026. It has been discounted 33 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 33 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 10 days ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 15 percent on value. It is pricier than 73 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. On the same math Nova Lands ($19.99, scores 73) and Factorio ($35.00, scores 97) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 2 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. Of the 446 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 80 percent of the 127 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

Reviews set the ceiling, and price against its genre's typical length moves the BANG Score inside it, docked until a real length is known. How it works, and where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 27, price as of Oct 1.
