Our take on Mermaid Colony
The colony’s survival depends on juggling production, resident welfare and defense, so attention is split across several systems. That breadth comes at the cost of a narrow, single-focus strategy loop.
What is Mermaid Colony?
Mermaid Colony is a survival strategy game about rebuilding a settlement on a mountain beneath the ocean.
Gather marine resources by mining minerals, farming seagrass, algae and mussels, harvesting kelp, and hunting sea creatures. Manage the colony’s economy, production chains and distribution as it expands. Mermaids have different professions and needs, so provide housing, workplaces, food, tools and resources while attending to their health and faith. Breed sea turtles and horses for transportation. An ancient enemy spreads darkness, triggers earthquakes and sends monsters from growths into the colony. Maintain buildings and guard the borders. A sea god grants spells and other abilities that grow with population and faith; priestesses perform rituals to support morale.
