What is dotAGE?

In this turn-based village builder, you play as an Elder who leads villagers to a new valley after foreseeing disaster. Each turn, you assign workers to tasks, produce resources, build and upgrade structures, and prepare for escalating events. Buildings vary between runs, and continued play unlocks more mechanics.

For you if...

+you like taking time to plan each turn
+you want varied runs with new buildings to discover
+you appreciate difficulty settings in a survival-focused builder

Not for you if...

−you want short runs with little repetition
−you dislike punishing setbacks late in a run
−you prefer freely building over solving resource puzzles
