Cozy Fantasy Village Builder, Ages of Cataria Set To Launch Into Early Access

Guide the lives of your own little fantasy village in this early access game. Check out this cozy city builder, Cataria, coming to Steam!

Developed by Third Pie Studios, Cataria is a city builder about building not just a city, but a community. Everything that you do builds toward and overarching story about your town and the people within it. Families will grow, children will grow up, and elders will pass on just as life always does.

The game takes place in a pleasant and warm fantasy world. Unlike other fantasy settings, Cataria’s world focuses not on the threats that the world brings, but rather the wonders it holds. This cozy atmosphere permeates the game, done to tailor the experience into a more calm and relaxing experience.

As you build up your little town, you need to gather up various materials to facilitate the deed. Said materials are gathered by your citizens, by putting them onto tasks like cutting trees and mining rocks. Whatever the tasks, your village requires not only solid infrastructure, but a strong cast of citizens to call this village home.

While your villagers grow and live their lives, they will face many quests that will shape them as people. These quests can alter their relationships and traits, changing who they are through their experiences. What your people do in these situations are important, and won’t just affect themselves, but everyone who comes after them as well.
