The First Settlement VR

The First Settlement VR is a medieval VR city builder focused on freely building and developing a town, rather than following a traditional, fully scripted story campaign. You start from the ground up, choose from over 50 buildings and manage the settlement’s economy and daily life.

Grow your settlement

Build homes for ordinary citizens, then unlock merchants, who bring prosperity but need specialised buildings and services and a considerably higher standard of living. Each map has a monumental landmark building, such as a palace or fortress. You complete it through six stages, expanding production, gathering resources and developing your settlement as construction progresses.

Plan and manage

Move through the town in first person to walk among its inhabitants, or rise above the rooftops to oversee production chains, districts and the town layout. You can switch between these views as you plan, and experience a full day and night cycle as the lighting and atmosphere change.

Trade with neighbouring towns to obtain scarce resources or sell surplus goods for profit. The warehouse system lets you set which goods each warehouse prioritises, directing their flow and storing important resources closer to where they are needed. You can manage buildings that produce finished goods, mark products for collection and check production and storage information at each building. Balance citizens’ basic needs with merchants’ more sophisticated expectations by producing essentials such as food and sought-after luxury goods.

Life in the town

You are a visible part of the community, not only an overseer managing the settlement from a distance. Walk the streets, observe the inhabitants and see the direct consequences of your decisions.
