Banished
Description
Banished is a city building game where you control a group of exiled people who are restarting their
lives in the wilderness. They have only the clothes on their backs and a cart filled with supplies
from their homeland.
The townspeople work, build, get older, have children, and eventually die. Keeping them healthy, happy, and fed are essential to making a successful town grow. Any structure can be built at any time, provided that your people have collected the resources to do so.
There are many occupations that the people can perform from farming, hunting, and blacksmithing, to fishing, teaching, and healing. You can choose to replant forests, mine for iron, and quarry for rock, and more!

New city-builder Banished is the most fun you'll have simulating famine all year.

A nice change of pace for city-builders, but it loses momentum once the immediate urgency of survival goes away.

Maybe the game is nice but UI ???
If it's not a beta anymore that's why I'm so harsh. The game's interface is very disappointing: no tutorial, tiny buttons with no design. The game might be nice but I don't want to play like this :(

Nice game
I am not very good with words, but I really enjoy playing this game! I have heard of people in my home who may have "discovered" it on TPB and then bought it on GOG ;-) Just saying...

Watch Farmers Starve to Death Simulator
Soooo....I've watched everyone die over a dozen times now. I first followed the tutorial. Which taught me that some F+(or clicking) buttons control which menu you select, and learned how to build buildings. Great! The problem then is, which damn buildings do I need?! So over a dozen times I've watched my village, composed of either entirely just fishermen, farmers, or over 2/3 farmers/fishermen all starve to death in front of me. Why? I don't know and the game won't tell me. I assumed there is some way to make this thing work. I was apparently wrong. I don't condemn games easily, I gave it 15-20 tries. But hey, at least a small minority got to freeze to death in the first half-dozen games! Yeah, so I made sure to get them warm clothing. But no matter what, everybody dies of starvation. Wheeeee............ Pros: Older but not ugly-looks alright, especially for something on GoG The little bit I can make work before it kills me, seems fun Cons: You are fucked no matter what
