META Publishing is excited to announce the Open Alpha release of Nested Lands, an intense survival RPG with city-building elements, now available on Windows PC via Steam. Developed by 1M Bits Horde, Nested Lands throws players into a brutal, plague-infested world where survival is a matter of skill, decision-making, and sheer willpower.
In this open-ended survival RPG, players are tasked with building and expanding a settlement amidst a world ravaged by a deadly plague. Each village must be self-sustaining, requiring players to guide their villagers to craft resources, gather food, defend against marauding bandits, and fight off the devastating effects of the plague. Your decisions will determine the fate of your village and the people who depend on you.
Nested Lands presents a unique challenge where every step matters. The Open Alpha is designed to test players’ abilities to grow their settlement autonomously, relying on the villagers’ skills while still requiring careful oversight. Players will need to manage resources, ensure the safety of the community, and decide who can be trusted to lead when the plague spreads and the dangers grow more severe. Every choice made will have a lasting impact on the villagers’ lives, making this game a true test of leadership in a world falling apart.
A World Devastated by Plague
The once-thriving kingdom of Nested Lands is now a shadow of its former self, its lush landscapes overtaken by the horrific plague. The disease has twisted the land and its people, transforming them into bloodthirsty bandits and unhinged madmen. In this hostile environment, survival is anything but certain. The world itself is unpredictable, with the constant threat of bandit raids, sudden weather changes, and an approaching harsh winter all threatening your efforts to build a thriving settlement.
Players must gather resources, craft tools, and fortify their villages against the elements and the plague’s devastating effects. With no time to rest, Nested Lands challenges players to manage both the internal and external threats their settlements face, from violent factions to the very land they’re trying to rebuild. Every decision will shape the future of the settlement – will you lead with wisdom, or will your choices lead your people into ruin?
Dynamic City-Building and Survival Mechanics
In Nested Lands, survival is not just about gathering supplies. The game combines city-building with survival mechanics, where players must not only construct buildings and defenses but also manage the emotional and physical well-being of their villagers. The impact of player decisions is ever-present, as villagers will either thrive or falter depending on how they are guided. From deciding where to build your next structure to determining who should lead the fight against the plague, players will constantly face dilemmas that will test their strategy and adaptability.
The game’s dynamic world keeps players on their toes, with random events and new challenges that require creative problem-solving. Whether it’s a sudden attack from bandits or an unexpected storm, no two playthroughs of Nested Lands will ever be the same.
A Story of Survival, Leadership, and Legacy
As the village grows, so too does the weight of leadership. Will your name be remembered with respect, or will it instill fear among the survivors? As you manage resources, recruit allies, and fend off deadly enemies, you’ll shape the story of your settlement. Every action you take will echo through the land, influencing how others perceive you in this unforgiving world.
