Depraved

Depraved is a settlement-building game set in the Wild West. You lead a group of pioneers into a procedurally generated world with one carriage of resources, choose a site for your first settlement and gather building materials from nature or through trade. As you build a home for your residents, their happiness affects how quickly the town grows and whether more colonists join.

Meet residents’ needs

Residents need food and water, and each population type also requires a particular food source. If that food is unavailable, you can provide an alternative, but doing so lowers their mood. You must also protect residents from weather and illness by supplying clothes and firewood.

Unhappy residents may commit raids or other crimes, or leave the town. Famines, illness and lawlessness can drive residents away and leave the streets resembling a ghost town; a happier, more popular settlement attracts more colonists.

Face the dangers

The area you settle in brings its own challenges. Food and water are difficult to secure in the desert, while snowy regions require a constant supply of firewood. Storms and illnesses threaten the town, and wolves and bears can seriously injure or kill residents, even though most animals avoid people.

Nearby camps and bandits may rob residents and raid the settlement. These attacks undermine residents’ sense of safety and cost valuable resources.

Deal with Native Americans

Native Americans may become allies or enemies. They may initially feel threatened if you build near them, but trading can help gain their favor. You can also choose to fight them and conquer their land.
