Hey does anyone have recommendations for hopeful games about building community post-apocalypse? Or like, setting up farm plots and clean water supplies and stuff?

@starkatt
That kind of game tends to lean toward difficulty & embrace despair as an aesthetic in my experience :(

@enkiv2 Yeah, that's why I want to specify not-that :)

There's so much "apocalypse is a brutal wasteland, get yer guns" and so little "we need to seriously come together and work as a community now" out there.

The book Station 11 is a great example of the latter, if you're looking.

@starkatt @enkiv2
It's funny, because in non-interactive media it's not rare at all to have a focus on community coming together to rebuild. I guess in a video game folks are inclined to be more literal & actually involve multiplayer in the context...
