Meltwork

Colony building under snow

Meltwork is a PC colony-building game set in a world buried under snow. You start with a torch, melt patches of snow, free villagers trapped in ice and build a village on the ground you uncover. As you progress, you can use burners, a ring of fire and a flamethrower to clear more snow.

Terraforming and resources

Thawed ground can be changed with kits that grow a forest, ranch, pond, desert, red canyon or hot spring. Villagers gather resources on their own, while spirits dig through the rock beneath the village and bring back ore. Energy orbs found underground let you summon more spirits and upgrade them.
