About This Demo



🎵♪ Fly me to the moon
let me play among its rocks
let me see what spring is like
in lumber huts and mines 🎵♪

Who says magic and science don’t go together? The birdfolk of Giwi are curious explorers and inventors—what better way to satisfy scientific curiosity than an expedition to the moon?



The volcanic satellite Helia is filled with resources, so daring explorers will discover new magical technologies, harvest riches, and establish colonies. Great discoveries aren’t easy to come by—the moon’s surface is full of dangerous creatures waiting to fight for their habitat. The Giwi will have to use magic to fend off any predators and sustain their economy with arcane lasers, allowing them to handle resource logistics by connecting all colonies into an industrial web.

To fully discover Helia's mysteries, players must establish multiple colonies on the moon’s surface, discover new tech and magic, terraform the hostile environment, and fight against local creatures.

Scorchalnds is a game in which you manage the production of fantastic resources on a foreign, volcanic moon.

Key game features:

  • Hex grid-based city-building – construct various buildings in your colonies. Each structure's productivity depends on neighboring resources and other constructions.
  • Complex resource management is not only about extracting materials. Scorchlands takes account of logistics—the movement of resources between colonies and the combination of them in robust processing chains. And yes, we move resources using lasers!
  • Terraforming for the greater good – use magic and technology to change the biomes on procedurally generated maps and exploit the new environment to gain its unique resources
  • Technology designed to give fun – there’s no fun in a sandbox if you don’t have the toys to play with. The technology system in Scorchlands is key for player progression, and discoveries open up new ways to play with the game world
  • Minimalistic combat system – positioning will be the key when you get into a fight. Destroy your enemies by surrounding them and placing your forces in optimal locations.
