Weeks Till Winter

Weeks Till Winter is a turn-based building and resource-management game set in magical worlds of procedurally generated terrain. You place buildings across each world, matching them to resources and nearby structures to grow your population and score. Each world is a randomized puzzle, and you must plan across turns and seasons while protecting your buildings from winter terrors.

Build and manage

Buildings harvest resources when placed on them, and earn bonuses when placed near related buildings. Discover secret building arrangements to trigger bonus structures, and use resource-rich terrain and larger structures to improve your score. You can undo and retry placements within a season to optimize your layout. Resource management is minimalistic, but skilled play calls for planning and deep knowledge of the game.

As your population grows, you may expand into new areas. The ruins of a failed civilization are scattered across the land, and their presence draws attention. When winter arrives, altars stir and release terrors that only heat and flame can hold back. Special items found or purchased from a mysterious hermit can boost your population, increase resource gains, or destroy altars and winter terrors; using them wisely is necessary to reach the highest rankings.

Worlds and challenges

Standard play spans seven worlds with procedurally generated terrain. The game also includes 20 puzzle-like challenge maps that explore its underlying rules, plus a level editor used to create those maps. Free-build mode removes time and resource constraints, letting you build without winter terrors.

Discover the world’s past

Fragmentary manuscripts lie buried in the ruins or hidden elsewhere in the world. Voice-acted journal entries, cryptic fables and historical records reveal pieces of the forgotten lore behind the world.
