Buy We Are the Caretakers PC key

We Are the Caretakers is a sci-fi strategy RPG with a 23-mission narrative campaign. You assemble a secret faction to protect the endangered Raun, animals that your world depends on, and face conflicts with no easy or absolute solutions. Your decisions balance reputation, funds, research, animals and alliances as you shape a global resistance.

The campaign and its choices

Your actions affect how others view the Caretakers: they may fear you or support your effort to protect the Raun. Turn-based encounters ask you to balance force with diplomacy, and you live with the consequences of decisions made amid the difficult realities of animal conservation. The story follows a grim path from devastating losses toward the hope of a better future, with mysteries and escalating conflicts. People outside your squad matter as much as the rangers you send into each map.

Build your squads

You can assemble up to nine exploring parties from hundreds of characters, each with distinct traits, weaknesses, abilities and personalities. Train and upgrade your Caretakers across more than 30 unique job classes. The campaign combines squad building, RTS-with-pause, narrative and turn-based JRPG combat.

Lead the resistance

At your sci-fi headquarters, you meet leaders, research technologies and recruit allies while balancing their conflicting demands. Your technology choices range from field-level upgrades to large-scale speculative research and development, with effects on the wider world. A reputation system tracks how your actions influence others, while funds, animals, research and alliances all factor into your approach.

The world and its companions

The game takes place in an original afrofuturist sci-fi universe with nuanced characters and a grim narrative. It also includes a baby Raun that nuzzles against your bed even after growing too large to do so.
