Retro sci-fi epic The Next World launches on Steam March 7th (Video)

Indie studio Illuminated Games is set to release The Next World on Steam for Windows, OSX & Linux desktop PCs March 7th.

The Next World is a strategy/visual novel hybrid in the vein of The Banner Saga, King of Dragon Pass and Oregon Trail. Your colony ship has crashed on a barren world. A mere 758 colonists survive. The captain is dead and all eyes are on you – will you keep the human race alive by making the tough decisions that no one else can?
•Choose their strategy – starvation, sabotage and even black market moonshine will compete for your attention as you build new structures, salvage the wreckage for valuable resources, and try to squeak by another day.
•Live their story – the relationships you forge along the way lend real weight to the outcome of your choices as you lead this desperate band of survivors towards one of several possible conclusions.

TNW is the brainchild of game writer & novelist Ryan Span (Frontiers, Euclidean, Mount&Blade, The Imposter Prince). Ryan hopes that genre newcomers will find the retro sci-fi style, hand-drawn art and colorful characters engaging & accessible, while genre veterans will enjoy the strategic twist.
