My love for the setting and premise aside, the story itself admittedly ends up carrying very little weight. The unification of these two concepts is what gives the game its name, Frostpunk, and it is sublime. Machines equal warmth, while nature equals the cold. The technological aspect of this world beautifully fits the frozen setting in a perfect marriage of contrasts. Generators are fueled by coal or wood, and unmanned machines resemble the epitome of technological advancement. In this alternate Victorian era future, steampunk technology has advanced just well enough for robotics and massive engines to be the dominant technology. The premise of Frostpunk works wonderfully. It is up to you to keep your citizens warm and ensure their safety with the ever-decreasing temperatures. As the player, you assume the role of mayor/leader of this new area.

The group dubs the location as New London. It is a hulking tower with the means of warming a crater. After months of wandering, this group comes across an abandoned generator. In the wake of a falling civilisation, a small band of explorers have splintered off from London and travelled North.

In the world of Frostpunk, Nicola Tesla inspired trains, trucks and large machines have prospered. It is an alternate history of humanity where steampunk-like technologies have advanced beyond those based on computational and scientific discoveries. Temperatures have dropped to the point where most animals have been killed off and resources have become inaccessible. In the game, humanity is brought to the brink of extinction by a global вЂcold snapвЂ™. In the case of Frostpunk, the premise is a little more unique. As with many City Builders, you can expect a rather straightforward story or none at all.
