About This Game
Welcome to The Next World - a strategic visual novel by Illuminated Games, telling the story of a crashed colony ship and its ragged group of survivors, trying to make a new life on the wrong planet.

Keep as many colonists alive as possible by making the tough decisions which will determine how your adventure unfolds.

Span (FRONTIERS, Mount&Blade, Euclidean).
