## About dotAGE

dotAGE is a turn-based colony builder roguelike released in 2023, developed and published independently by Michele Pirovano. Players assume the role of village elder guiding a community against impending apocalyptic disaster, assigning workers and constructing facilities to ensure survival. The game features resource web management, population emotional states, seasonal threat systems, tech tree progression, randomized starting conditions, and ironman-mode runs. The pixel art style creates a cozy aesthetic that contrasts with brutal survival stakes according to players. Reviewers highlight deep resource webs that reward creative problem solving, elder-specific playstyles that generate fresh strategies each run, evolving mechanics forcing constant adaptation, and prophecy-driven disasters keeping runs unpredictable. The game is verified on Steam Deck, holds a 95% positive rating from 1816 Steam reviews, and costs $17.59 USD.
