About The Next World
The Next World is a strategic visual novel about a crashed colony ship and its ragged group of survivors trying to build a new life on the wrong planet. You make plans and decisions to keep as many colonists alive as possible, with combat taking a secondary role.
The colony
Build structures, salvage wreckage, resolve problems with branching outcomes and manage dwindling supplies on a hostile world. Dozens of events can help or challenge your colony, and hundreds of decisions have consequences. The story follows political intrigue, sabotage, desperation and survival.
Protagonists and characters
Choose between two protagonists, each with their own quirks and methods. They are joined by a colourful cast of non-player characters.
Art and setting
The game’s hand-drawn art uses a retro-industrial science-fiction style.
