A free survival city builder you can play online
Most free browser city builders are about growing big. Last Siren is about a small town surviving a nuclear event, where each choice costs something. Here is how it plays.
Build
Place shelters, wells and other buildings in Cinder Flats, a desert town. There are 47 buildings. You can pan with WASD or arrows, rotate with Q and E, and zoom with the wheel.
Research and laws
There are 42 technologies and 42 laws, and laws trade your people's trust for survival. Space pauses and 1, 2 and 3 set the speed; B opens building, L laws and R research.
Story and endings
60 story events, expeditions to a fallen B-52, a sealed bunker and ground zero, and a choice between the Colonel's wardens and the Reverend's church. Your choices decide which of 8 endings you get.
