Instead of creating the perfect Utopia (or anarchist city if you’re like me), you’re reclaiming all that land. The same developers who brought us games like Bro Force, Genital Jousting, and GORN have made a game all about giving back to nature. What about the opposite? That is the goal of Terra Nil, developed by Free Lives and published by Devolver Digital. ![]() ![]() Have you ever heard of a reverse city builder?
