Terra Nil is an upcoming strategy video game for Microsoft Windows developed by South African Free Lives and published by Devolver Digital.
Essentially subverting the building genre, Terra Nil is about restoring a ravaged environment.
Turn a barren wasteland into an ecological paradise complete with different flora and fauna. Then clean up, leaving the environment pristine.
The ultimate objective of Terra Nil is to transform a procedurally generated wasteland into a flourishing, life-filled environment.
Players change the once-deserted land by building windmills, water pumps, and other structures on it. This increases the land’s biodiversity and improves the environment.
Particularly in light of climate change and other ecological issues, the idea seems timely. Not to mention that the entire procedure is satisfying and gives the genre a soothing, relaxed feel.
