Mermaid Colony

Descend into the dark depths of the ocean and rebuild a mythical colony of mermaids. At the bottom of the sea an ancient horror slowly awakens...

• Build a thriving colony on top of a mountain deep in the sea. In order for the mermaids to prosper you have to make use of the rich marine flora and fauna. Mine minerals. Farm seagrass, algae and mussels. Lumber large kelp forests. And hunt sea creatures like jellyfish and giant shrimps. Slowly expand the colony by carefully managing its economy, production chain and distribution network.
• Care for the wellbeing of the mermaids. They all have different professions and needs. Breeding sea turtles and horses as riding animals enables them to get around more easily. Providing them with housing and workplaces as well as food, the right tools and resources is essential for maintaining their health and faith. The spiritual condition of the mermaids is as important as keeping them fed.
• A strange and horrific enemy is infesting the colony. This giant, ancient entity is spreading out and causing sporadic earthquakes. So be diligent in your maintance of all buildings. Guard your borders against the grim monsters emerging from dark, tumorous growths. The enemy is shrouding everything into darkness and is extinguishing all life.
• A sea god grants you divine powers. You gain more abilities with increasing population and faith. Priestesses will help you to keep up morale by performing singing and dancing rituals. The swift use of magic spells allows you to overcome threatening situations. You can quickly react to attacks, directly shape surroundings and drastically improve conditions for the mermaids. Gain enough power and you'll be able to force the dark horrors finally back.
