Refer to link above to learn a little bit more about the game.

Now, has anyone here played this game yet? If not and you enjoy building settlements and micromanaging a group of people in hopes of surviving against nature, I'd suggest you give this a try.

Graphic-wise, it can't compete with many games that are out on the market, but the game DOES have replay value. Lets say you were overrun with creatures and your settlement was utterly slaughtered. What could you do in your next settlement that would prevent such a thing from happening the way it did again? Or you could take control of one character and revisit your old settlement region and explore the ruins of your former settlement. Things will have changed and the place that was once called home to people might be infested with the very creatures that caused their demise...or they might have moved on, giving you the opportunity to loot the place.

Yeah, hopefully you get the idea. Discuss, trash, & debate.

Came out in 2006. Reason why you can't find the game on gamestop or bestbuy is because the game is only downloadable. No need to worry about the price. It's free.

I put the link in my first post.

Word of warning though. The games graphics are extremely horrid without the use of texture mods, so it can and will turn you away. Just use the first link's wiki to learn how things work in the game and you'll be either hooked or uninstall the game, come back to this topic, and talk about how much of a retarded game this is. 3nodding

Lol, yeah. The learning curve is pretty steep so I'd utilize the wiki page link I've provided or search up a tutorial on Youtube. Once you get down the bare essentials to survive, you'll start going nuts on creativity.
