It’s the ultimate video game power fantasy: the power to clean up after ourselves. Terra Nil is a unique “city builder” in the lineage of Sim City, but with tasks you with revitalizing a wilderness on a ruined Earth, and ultimately with destroying what you’ve built, erasing all evidence of your presence and leaving the Earth to heal.

It’s a strange union of theme and mechanics. It’s also the first “city builder” we’ve covered on the show. Not a genre known for short games, or even games with endings!
