As Far As The Eye

Guide a Nomadic Tribe Through Rising Waters

As Far As The Eye presents a distinctive take on city building where permanence becomes impossible. You play as the wind itself, guiding the Pupils—a wandering tribe that must reach the center of the world before rising waters claim everything behind them. This turn-based strategy game challenges traditional settlement building by forcing constant movement and adaptation.

Procedural Journeys Across a Drowning World

Each playthrough generates a new world map filled with procedurally generated locations to explore. Your tribe moves from halt to halt, establishing temporary settlements where they can harvest resources, construct buildings, and grow stronger before the inevitable flood forces another departure. The journey toward the Eye—the world's center—becomes a race against time and rising tides.

Resource Management Between Flood Cycles

Settlement management revolves around careful timing and resource allocation. Pupils must gather materials, craft essential items, and conduct research while you plan their next destination. The game features over 90 trade bonuses, 36 building improvements, and 25 types of tribal knowledge that influence each playthrough. Starvation and surprise flooding pose constant threats that require strategic foresight.

Peaceful Exploration Without Combat

Unlike many survival games, As Far As The Eye contains no enemies or combat systems. Instead, challenges emerge from environmental pressures, resource scarcity, and the relentless advance of water. You'll encounter allies for trade and negotiation, discover sacred sites that offer rewards or consequences, and recruit new Pupils to strengthen your tribe through diplomatic means.

Roguelike Progression and Tribal Customization

The roguelike system ensures each journey feels distinct through unlockable tribes, traits, and regions. Over 80 personality traits can be applied to individual Pupils, creating varied gameplay experiences. Game modifiers allow players to adjust session length, halt size, and resource generation, while a campaign mode introduces the world's traditions and lore.

Strategic Path Planning and Adaptation

Success depends on plotting efficient routes between safe zones while managing your tribe's evolving needs. Sacred sites present moral choices—make offerings for potential benefits or risk plundering them for immediate resources. The PC platform's interface supports the complex decision-making required to balance short-term survival with long-term progression toward the mysterious Eye.
