What is As Far As The Eye?
You play as the wind guiding the Pupils, a nomadic tribe trying to reach the center of the world before rising water catches them. In this turn-based city builder, you gather resources, assign jobs, build structures, and prepare to leave each halt on a procedurally generated journey. There are no enemies.
For you if...
- +you like planning resource use under a deadline
- +you enjoy repeatable, procedurally generated survival journeys
- +you prefer strategy without combat or enemies
Not for you if...
- −you want a forgiving introduction to resource management
- −you prefer building a permanent city over moving on
- −you want a story-led campaign rather than repeatable runs
What players say
72% of 2,127 reviews are positive
Players praise the art, soundtrack, and nomadic resource-management loop. The most common complaint is that random events and generated maps can make runs feel unwinnable despite careful planning. Players also criticize the steep learning curve, including in the tutorial.
