The Blightstorm rages on as Against the Storm - Nightwatchers introduces a new species into the fray alongside two new biomes, new buildings, new deeds, new world events, and more for any Viceroy seeking additional options in the seemingly endless struggle. The Bats bring with them a talent for metallurgy and a disdain for weakness, growing more resolute when their compatriots falter.

Meanwhile, as smugglers grow bold enough to defy the Scorched Queen, the harsh Rocky Ravines become an option for settlers – these barren lands are rich in ore and minerals. Viceroys building settlements among the scraggly rocks will find themselves reliant on black market traders while mining the basalt columns that grow here in place of trees.

Those seeking more verdant fields will perhaps find suitable sites among the Bamboo Flats instead. Though lush with life, the heavy rainfall erodes the loose soil, and settlers must work carefully to appease a peculiar species local to the ecosystem if they want any chance at success: the Fluffbeak. If kept happy, this beast is able to produce fertilizer, giving the local Viceroy an opportunity to plan exactly where to enrich the soil and secure the future of their settlement.

Against the Storm - Nightwatchers includes:

The newly added species, Bats, have little patience for weakness, having grown hardy and austere in their isolated underground halls. Fiercely devoted and stern, they bring their expertise with metals and a willingness to make sacrifices for the greater good. Once the Bats’ starting ability is unlocked, you will be granted access to the Manorial Court blueprint – use it to expel a member of a chosen species, leveraging this harsh punishment to motivate all who remain to work harder in the name of the Scorched Queen.
The Rocky Ravine biome presents an unforgiving landscape where even the trees are made of stone, and the Black Market will be a key partner in your success – with fluctuating prices and a notable lack of wood, you’ll need to leverage your plentiful stone and amber to acquire the resources needed to keep your settlement growing. But be warned – these criminals will quickly turn from merchants to miscreants, and while they present an excellent opportunity, they also expect debts to be paid in a timely manner.
Settle the Bamboo Flats biome with the help of an unlikely ally – though the constant rain has left these regions devoid of any fertile soil, the giant Fluffbeak is able to produce copious amounts of fertilizer to help create areas of fertile soil and establish a flourishing settlement. Manage the Fluffbeak’s hunger, thirst, and warmth to keep it happy and reap the rewards, not just in the provision of fertilizer, but in the increased resolve and productivity of villagers inspired by the village mascot.
3 new World Map Modifiers will bring harsher lands to conquer. From the Riverlands and their minimal space to places of great significance for the ancients, still watched by silent guardians that limit the number of Cornerstones that can be used, Viceroys will be pressed to seek solutions to these new challenges.
3 new World Events introduce an increasingly powerful criminal organization, explosive alchemical experiments that threaten your carefully laid-out plans, and a tree-eating beast that inadvertently opens glades and unleashes the secrets hidden within them, whether you’re ready or not. Use these to secure powerful but temporary boons – from woodcutting automatons to the new Fuel Rod resource that doubles Rain Engine efficiency.
3 new Legendary Cornerstones, 16 new Deeds, and 6 new Decorations have been added alongside new rewards to the upgrade tree in the Smoldering City.
The new biomes will appear on the world map after the current cycle ends. To unlock Bats as a playable species, you must reach level 11.
27 new tracks added to reflect the growing world of Against the Storm.

Punish the meek and push forth into harsher lands in service of the Scorched Queen – with the Bats by your side, there is little room for the weak-willed.

Turn a ramshackle blacksmith shop into a successful enterprise in a challenging and endlessly varied world! Deal with local bandits, merchants, priests, as well as French and English soldiers. Manage workers with various quirks, improve facilities and tools to create better merchandise, decorate your smithy to attract high-paying customers and most importantly – try not to get yourself beheaded!

Build the smithy of your dreams

Construct new rooms and underground facilities in order to expand your smithy and take on the more challenging orders. From a simple kitchen to living quarters, to logging or woodcarving workshops – each room needs to be outfitted with the appropriate furniture and décor.

Make decisions and deal with the consequences

Customers, relationships and decisions – they all matter! Maintain your reputation with conflicting factions, each one offering protection and bonuses for your budding enterprise. The orders which you decide to fulfil and the way you deal with each faction influences the game world and leads to a variety of tragic, fun or bewildering outcomes.

Become a renowned craftsman

Manage orders and try to increase your prestige level to attract the rich and the famous. Look out for unique orders that pay a premium, such as a baron’s request to create the most beautiful ring for his daughter or a wandering knight demanding you forge a one-of-a-kind sword.

Forge a team of professionals

Take charge of employees with different skill sets, salary levels, needs and personalities. Keep them happy by building special facilities, installing amenities and decorating their rooms. Equip your workers with special tools for faster work and help improve their craft by adding new books to your library.

This is a first-person simulation game where you step into the role of a tobacco shop owner.

Work alone or with friends to expand your humble shop into a huge tobacco shop.

Co-Op Mode and Single Player

Share the duties with your friends in co-op mode (for up to 4 players).

The more players in the store, the more demanding customers will visit your store.

Also, you can go solo and manage everything in the store. You can invite your friends anytime if you change your mind.

Store Workflow

Sign contracts with leading brands, order new products with an in-game computer or with your tablet while walking in the store, unpack the boxes, place the products into your store, and set the prices for your products.

Consider the market prices while setting up your product prices in the store for customer satisfaction.

Always keep your store clean so as not to lose any customers. Also, be careful with the thieves to avoid some box losses that would cause a leak in your finances.

Products

Please make sure your customers find all their needs in the store.

Always expand your product portfolio and satisfy your customers.

Cigarettes, lighters, pipes, cigars, ashtrays, hookahs, e-cigarettes, tobacco, and smoking accessories...

Be aware of the market prices and purchase more products when they're cheap.

Customers

Place a sufficient number of checkouts to reduce the waiting time for customers.

Scan products and collect payments whether in cash or with card purchases.

Don't forget to fulfill the online orders.

Expansions and New Teammates

Expand your store and warehouse by leveling up your store and budget.

Hire stockers to fill the racks.

Live the life of an aspiring influential publisher in New York City during the 1930s.
Define your editorial line and search the globe for the newsworthy stories of the decade.
The Prohibition, the Great Depression, or a lost cat… Not all articles are deserving of a Pulitzer…

But watch out! The mafia, mayor, and other factions will be more than happy to use your influence in New York City to print their own “truth”.
To get unique rewards, you might have to cover the topics they want!
Bend to their will and compromise the freedom of the press or print the truth, whatever the cost!

People’s stories create History.

In News Tower, you will follow some of the key moments of the 1930s, but it will be up to you whether to cover and even influence them.
It’s up to your reporters to beat the deadline to get the news while it’s hot. Time is money in News Tower!

Use your reporter’s favorite topics to send them searching for the right news to get it faster, or it might already be old news by the time they return. The more they cover a topic, the more experienced they get, allowing you to sharpen your editorial line.
Search for exciting news across the US and the world that matches your reader’s interest and editorial line.
Will you decide to publish gossip to satisfy your readers' thirst for sensational press, or will you always seek hard stories for the truth?

A lot of news offers different avenues of investigation, unveiling diverse versions of the story. Send your reporter down a path, but be mindful of the risk and rewards of each: poking your nose around the mafia may lead to “offers” that you can’t refuse…
Not everyone is in favor of the freedom of the press…

Build and optimize your tower to ensure the well-being of your employees while meeting your printing deadlines on Sunday!
Recruit and manage every profession necessary to ensure your success: reporters, photographers, janitors, without forgetting the essential ads salesperson and lawyers.

Make sure you’re a great place to work!
Being surrounded by oily and noisy printing machines can get on the nerves of your employees, and they will lose focus, ultimately leading to poorly written articles which will lower your sales.
One always works best when surrounded by lush vegetation and a near unlimited source of coffee.

Build facilities and decorate each floor to transform your dingy tower into a prestigious workspace for your employees. With that done, you will be able to ensure their well-being!
However, you should probably find a more optimal placement for your coal generator. It’s making an awful noise on the typesetter’s floor…

In News Tower, manage each step of your newspaper's production line:
Telegraph station, typesetting, photography… Each step is essential to transform a reporter’s notes into a ready-to-print article. Recruit the right employees and plan the layout of your workstations to optimize your production.

Searching continuously for more topics & scoops is exciting, but will your production line keep up?

In a world where the dead turn into zombies, your job is to manage your very own Graveyard! Perform burials and cremations, fulfill visitor requests, manage facilities, and keep your staff and defenses in top shape. But when night falls, everything changes. The dead may rest, but the zombies don’t. They are coming for your precious work!

Visitor Satisfaction is Key

After processing the bodies, visitors will return to check on their loved ones. Your duty is to keep graves intact while providing fresh flowers and maintaining a welcoming environment. Every visit rewards you with valuable bonuses to help your business thrive.

Visitors can also stop by the Chapel to rest and browse the Souvenir Shop for small keepsakes like candles and incenses. A clean and decorated graveyard encourages greater generosity while donating!

Build your Defenses

Each night, waves of zombies will come with their numbers growing and special zombie types emerging, hungry for freshly buried bodies and for you. From basic defenses like barbed wires and fences to advanced machines like automatic turrets, keep your defenses upgraded, repaired, and fully stocked with ammo to withstand the night.

Trust your Arsenal

With a variety of weapons, including pistols, rifles, shotguns, and your trusty shovel, you are the ultimate force against the Zombies. As you level up, unlock and purchase new weapons to become even stronger. Just make sure to stock up on enough ammo!

Even a Graveyard Can Be Cozy Sometimes!

Use your Farming Area to grow different flowers for profit and vegetables to simply eat and restore your energy and health. With Upgrades, you can even unlock a Grinder to turn zombie parts into Fertilizer. Decorate your Graveyard with benches, lights, and other ornaments to make it truly your own.

Expand and Upgrade Your Facilities

Your graveyard isn’t just a resting place, it's a business, and every upgrade matters. Expand your burial areas and upgrade your crematorium with more furnaces and automated systems. Improve your water supply, manage resource production, and decorate your grounds to stay ahead of growing demands.

Hire a team of employees to help with day-to-day tasks: the Florist keeps flowers running, the Gravekeeper maintains burials and cremations, the Gardener keeps your farm in check, and the Technician ensures all machines run smoothly.

Every improvement helps you stay one step ahead of both business demands and the undead threat.

Thriving City: Song is a city-building simulation game set in ancient China with rich historic, story and strategy elements.

As the mayor, you'll need to help the townspeople settle down, cultivate the land and expand the city. More than that, however, you must ensure your people live in peace and prosperity: by providing food and other necessities, lending the people your ear, preventing disasters, and lowering the crime rate. How to respond in the face of crisis is down to you. When the emperor issues a national mandate, an enemy state invades your homeland, or conflicts between factions threaten city development—what strategy will you adopt? How will your decisions change the course of history forever?

Key Features:

Experience the history of the Song dynasty brought to life, and live through the rise and fall of the empire in Story Mode.
Interact with a detailed world that references museum and historical records, with everything from buildings, industries, professions and even clothing from the Song dynasty.
Soak in Thriving City's traditional Chinese-style art design, with intricate building and character animations.
Control agriculture, industry, commerce, education, civil affairs and politics; all are closely linked, and demand careful planning.
Fight disasters and plagues and defend against invasion. Raise a small, run-down village into a thriving city with 2,000+ citizens on-screen at any one time.
Take creative liberties as you build your own bustling cityscape in Adventure Mode.

Gameplay:

In Story Mode, you'll experience the history of the Song Empire first-hand. Actual historical events are referenced heavily, so time is an important concept you'll need to keep in mind.As the game progresses, you must complete tasks assigned by the emperor's edicts, take part in major events throughout each dynastic period, make key decisions and lead your city into the future.

A city's development relies on its planning. You'll be tasked with assigning jobs, collecting valuable resources in time, building a range of production and living facilities, and more. Construct related buildings together to stimulate production, and ensure the basic needs of your populace are met to build a peaceful and prosperous city.

Hold perfume contests, provide poetry and music events, scripture chants, diversified diets and more... Their basic needs aside, you'll also need to enrich your people's lives and increase their Happiness. Plan your city carefully, build Economy buildings and develop a thriving city praised by all.

Spice Shops, Inns, Taverns, Brothels and other entertainment facilities attract more residents and tourists to your city. Academic research, student education, and students passing the Imperial Exam also works to provide an abundant income while improving your city's Reputation, allowing for further development.

Alas, peace never lasts. As your city grows, you'll need to build a Prison to crack down on criminals that commit robbery, arson, murder and other heinous deeds. Besides that, you'll need to safeguard the city from invasion. Construct City Walls and Archer Towers, and train Militias and Archers to defend against attacks. It is to you that your populace will turn for protection.

As a responsible mayor, you must keep an eye on city accounts and plan ahead for each year. What's more, you can enact policies to aid governance. Improve city management efficiency by matching and combining various policies. However, policies may not always work in your favor. Some may drive production, yet adversely affect your people's lives. What steps will you take?",[2739],{"_16":184,"_185":2740,"_200":2744,"_202":194,"_27":194,"_203":128,"_204":205,"_206":207},[2741],{"_188":2645,"_189":2742,"_191":62,"_192":128,"_193":194,"_195":74,"_196":822,"_198":2743},"Thriving City: Song - 18,49€ 12,94€",1294,"Buy Thriving City: Song",{"_210":2743,"_211":2746,"_213":214,"_215":2747,"_217":828,"_219":2748},1849,"12,94€","18,49€","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1956800/capsule_184x69.jpg?t=1729048643",{"_832":2751,"_834":2752},"Minimum:

Up to 16 players or go solo

Split the action with your friends: the more players in your supermarket, the more demanding customers will become. You can also choose to go solo and inflate the difficulty artificially if you are feeling hard-working.

Unlock franchises and perks in the skills blackboard

Owning a successful supermarket grants Franchise Points: use these to advance in the skills blackboard and add more advantages to your business like unlocking products or improving your employees performance.

Acquire shop space, storage or extra facilities

Expanding public space allows player to offer more and better merchandises. A fully improved store can harbor up to 49,000 products in its shelves.

Do not neglect secondary duties.

Extra activities like cleaning make customers happier. Careful with shoplifters, catching them red handed will prevent finances leaking at the end of the working day.

Revamp your vampire bar!

As a vampire bar manager, transform shabby bistros into the trendiest bars in the neighborhood! At the same time, lure those clueless mortals into your quirky blood factory to feed other vampires. Manage stocks, avoid bankruptcy, and prevent hunters from burning down your blood bars.

Hire low-level vampires as minions to carry out your dirty work. Manage their priorities to optimize your operations and satisfy both your mortal and immortal customers. Don’t forget to feed them as well!

Arrange the hallways, rooms, and other amenities to your taste to enhance the prestige of your bar and become a true neighborhood hotspot.

Capture juicy humans!

Develop an underground detention center for humans before processing them in your wacky machines to extract their precious blood in all its forms.

What’s better than serving bloody slushies or a bloody daiquiri to satisfy your wealthiest and most demanding vampire clients? Discover crazy cocktails with new ways to harvest and process blood!

If everything goes right, the humans will leave your establishment with a free hangover. But if there’s trouble, you’ll have a corpse on your hands... and you risk attracting the attention of vampire hunters!

Unleash your vampiric creativity!

You’re not just a vampire bar manager; you’re the architect of a true nocturnal masterpiece. Enjoy extensive freedom to renovate, design, and customize every aspect of your establishment with a wide range of themes and styles.

Micromanage or automate your minions! The choice is yours!

Take command of your minions with micro-interactions, managing them like a true vampire overlord to tackle emergencies. Seamlessly blend micromanagement with automation, assign work sectors, and set priorities to grow your dark empire like an evil mastermind!

Handle the whims of Elder vampires

Interact with enigmatic Elder vampires who will guide you through the night and shape your destiny as a blood bar manager. But beware, each Elder has a unique personality. Please them, and you’ll be handsomely rewarded! Disappoint them, and you’ll face their wrath as they plot your downfall.

Expand through Crimson City!

Your first blood bar marks the beginning of your ascent to dominate the blood trade in Crimson City! Each new bar presents new challenges to overcome at your own pace.

Prevent your impatient and voracious customers from feeding directly on your human clients. Improve your facilities, machines, and staff. Utilize research and new systems to earn riches more quickly!

Analyze your numbers to become the best vampire bar manager in the city.

Your ultimate goal: becoming an Elder!

Try to please the Elders to gain their favor or suffer their wrath! Understand their personalities and learn how to flatter them. Will you ally with the crazy Yumeko, the voluptuous Sophie, the megalomaniac Vladimir, or someone else? Take control of every district in Crimson City with their help to become one of them and rule for eternity!

Will you achieve your vampiric goals or fail miserably?

Queen to reclaim the wilderness and discover lost riches for the Smoldering City, civilization's last bastion against the Blightstorm that destroyed the old world. Unlike most survival city builders where your focus is on a single city, in Against the Storm you must build a vast, prosperous network of settlements populated by diverse fantasy races, each with their own specializations and needs.

The wilderness holds many hidden dangers, and never-ending storms will batter your population into submission. If your settlements should fall, then the expedition may end – but not the game. Against the Storm is a roguelite city builder, meaning you will carry forward the resources, upgrades, and experience of your past expeditions each time you set off for a new journey into the wild.

Foxes, beavers, and lizards stand alongside humans and harpies in the struggle to survive. Utilize each group's strengths as you balance their varying needs, from housing and culinary preferences to taste in luxuries and recreation. Will you manufacture raincoats, brew ale, and bake pies to boost morale in the face of the oppressive hostility of the forest, or will you prioritize the needs of one species over another to operate more swiftly for the Scorched Queen?

Experience core city builder gameplay enhanced by roguelite replayability. Build and manage multiple settlements spread out across a large world map, all while collecting valuable meta-progression resources to upgrade the Smoldering City. Feel the pressure of an expectant monarch as the Scorched Queen demands constant progress while recurring Blightstorms pose an inevitable threat to your settlements. Manage your reputation to secure your success at any one settlement before moving on to establish another, constantly seeking new opportunities for growth, taking on unique challenges across multiple biomes, and bracing for the inevitable destruction of everything but the Smoldering City itself. How will you maximize each cycle to not just ensure the best fate for the Smoldering City, but for your career as Viceroy as well?

With hundreds of gameplay modifiers and 6 distinct biomes, every city location presents unique challenges for even the most resourceful Viceroy. Adjust your strategy to changing weather conditions and experiment with rosters of building blueprints and perks that can help your society thrive or bring it to ruin. Will you take on and complete additional objectives and delve deeper into the dangerous forest for potential boons, or will you approach with caution to ensure you operate within your capabilities? All the while, you never know what wares the Trader will bring next year, and the forest holds treasures and resources, but also ancient threats.

Laying the foundations for a new city is one of the most exciting moments in a city-building game. In Against the Storm, you'll have the opportunity to repeatedly experience this by creating new settlements, while still interacting with your network of previously established cities in a growing world.","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1336490/page_bg_raw.jpg?t=1740185472",[4070],{"_16":184,"_185":4071,"_200":4075,"_202":194,"_27":194,"_203":128,"_204":205,"_206":207},[4072],{"_188":3989,"_189":4073,"_191":62,"_192":128,"_193":194,"_195":74,"_196":1845,"_198":4074},"Against the Storm - 29,99€",2999,"Buy Against the Storm",{"_210":4074,"_211":4074,"_213":214,"_215":4077,"_217":128,"_219":194},"29,99€","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1336490/capsule_184x69.jpg?t=1740185472",{"_832":4080,"_834":4081},"Minimum:
