You were exiled to an old castle in the desert. Command people, monitor their condition, explore, improve the castle, and make tough decisions – all to survive! And while you’re struggling with the hottest summer, the temperature is only rising, and the storms won’t subside.

## About This Game

BIGHARDSUN is a turn-based survival strategy. Get or exchange resources,
construct buildings, watch your people’s fatigue levels, and keep them alive.
Every day there are random events that require your attention. Over time,
crushing storms begin, and you have to prepare for each one.

DO YOUR BEST TO SURVIVE

When the Old King died, an enemy invaded the country. You, the captain of the
Royal Guard, were among those who decided to fight. And you lost. They saved
your life but exiled you to the edge of the world. Now, this is your home.
Take command of people living in the abandoned castle on the edge of the
desert. Build relationships and help them survive in these harsh conditions.
Unravel the mysterious past of the Old Man, the oldest dweller of the castle.
Accept or give battle to your destiny under the scorching sun of the hottest
summer in history.

CONTROL YOUR RESOURCES

Survival in the desert requires concentration and attention. Don’t let food
and water run out – without them, only death awaits you. Upgrade buildings,
reduce rations, send caravans with goods to exchange – do whatever it takes to
survive!

SAVE STRENGTH

Don’t let people exhaust themselves or stop trusting you. The people here are
harsh, just like the desert. If your energy drops to zero, you will get
killed. If people stop trusting you, they will start stealing resources for
their survival. Construct buildings where they can rest and give people days
off. Do not let this story end too quickly.

BE PREPARED FOR EVERYTHING

The desert is a strange and dangerous place. Only a cold-blooded and patient
one can survive here. Each turn, you have to make difficult decisions and bear
the blows of fate. There are dozens upon dozens of random events that occur at
the beginning of each turn.

THINK SEVERAL MOVES AHEAD

There is a cloud of locust on a horizon. What should you do? You can upgrade
food storage in tech tree, stop food production to reduce their amount
naturally, send food away in trade caravan or take corn (food) and make bread
from it. You will always have several options to do. Your plans will often be
overset, but you won’t survive without them. When resources are scarce, you
will have to decide what to improve first, sacrificing everything else.

BUILD YOUR OWN STORY

Each of your choices will be taken into account. They will affect what story
you get and where you will bring yourself and the inhabitants of the castle.

IT ONLY GETS WORSE

No matter how tough and wise a commander you are, you can never change one
thing. Nature. The weather changes, and in your case, not for the better. Get
ready to face crushing thunderstorms and protracted droughts, deadly storms,
and ravenous locusts. Each event requires its own approach and preparation.
And may the gods have mercy on you!
