The game from All Parts Connected and TinyBuild is currently available for testing, so you can experience what it’s like to build in a post-apocalyptic world until the end of January.

All Will Fall is a post-apocalyptic city builder where any structure can collapse. Master a unique physics-based 3D construction system, build a sprawling vertical settlement on water, scavenge for resources, explore the ocean, and ensure the survival of your colony by making difficult but necessary decisions. The world is dying, swallowed up by the endless ocean. You are the leader of a small group of survivors, stranded on a rusty boat. You find a small patch of land, solid enough to serve as the foundation for a building. And now, step by step, you are building a city. This city will rise into the sky, weather many storms, and become a home for the last remnants of humanity. For your people.

The game’s physics-based building mechanic challenges you to consider real-world construction issues as you build your intricate multi-level city in all three dimensions. While easy to understand, this unique system adds a deeper simulation aspect and more creative freedom to the city-building sandbox, allowing you to bring numerous vertical city design ideas to life. As you build, you’re essentially playing Jenga with human lives on the line. Every structure can collapse, so you need to provide enough support and find creative ways to use different building materials. However, there is a high-risk, high-reward aspect to this. For example, you can find different ways to reach much-needed resource nodes by building elaborate bridges or ladders. Or – save some space for more production by stacking quarters on top of each other. If you make a mistake, you can reset the building to the state it was in before the collapse, so you can fix your mistakes and avoid tragic consequences – at least on lower difficulties!

In addition to building and maintaining the city, you will also manage a colony of survivors. As their leader, you must navigate the wants and needs of several factions – Engineers, Sailors, and Workers – each with their own unique characteristics. For example, only Engineers can operate cranes, while Sailors have access to boat navigation, making resource gathering and logistics easier. Sometimes you will have to make difficult but necessary decisions to lead your people to prosperity. Try to feed every mouth generously, or be strict with food rationing. Declare martial law during riots, or show mercy and let the people vent their frustrations. Go down in history as a benevolent shepherd or a strong-armed tyrant – as long as the city prevails.

Each colony you build will face unique challenges, foundation layouts, circumstances, and random events – such as storms, mysterious structures rising from the sea, political coups, unexpected newcomers, food shortages, and more. Learn from your mistakes, unlock new locations on the global map, and embark on the next dangerous adventure when the inevitable disaster comes to destroy the city.

“With All Will Fall, we set out to create a unique blend of physics, simulation, and management mechanics for city-building and strategy fans. We want the game to be accessible yet deep, allowing you to tinker with its many systems and ‘smash some toys together’. As a Lithuanian studio, we are also excited to shine a spotlight on our local game development scene. On behalf of our small but passionate team, we hope you will put All Will Fall on your city builder radar,” said developers Dominykas Kiauleikis and Danas Matusevicius in a joint statement.

You can sign up for a playtest of All Will Fall on Steam. The PC release is scheduled for sometime this year.
