The Game

In Evergrove, you take control of the environment, shaping the fate of a colony of dwarves as they dig deeper into a vast, procedurally generated underground world. Your role is to direct the discovery of vital resources and strategically place essential hubs that keep the colony functioning and growing.

The dwarves mine, build, and expand, but it’s up to you to ensure they have the right infrastructure to survive. From food stations to rest hubs, you’ll decide where and when to spawn key facilities, ensuring the colony’s growth doesn’t outpace its resources. Every decision you make can either lead the dwarves to prosperity or plunge them into disaster.

Explore, gather, and build in a constantly shifting underground world, where careful planning and strategic hub placement are the keys to success.
