Description
About This Game
A home beneath a dying world. A future shaped by your decisions.
The Undercity: Last Light is a single-player colony simulation in 2D pixel art. Light a beacon for other survivors, carve a settlement into the rock, and lead the people who make it their home. Expanding is only part of the challenge: your colony must be able to live with the choices that make it grow.
What will your people endure to reach the light?

Carve out a colony that works
Excavate galleries, connect floors and build farms, kitchens, workshops and homes. Workers carry materials between rooms and storage. Plan your layout, assign specialists and choose whether to expand or invest in stronger upgrades. A new workshop is only useful if people and supplies can reach it.Your people have limits
Match professions and shifts to the work your colony needs. Long hours can help you through a shortage, but exhaustion and injuries take workers away from production. Families need homes; the next generation needs training. Decide how much to invest in rest, care and education while keeping the colony supplied.Choose what you can afford to sacrifice
Respond to requests, take on trade commitments and weigh immediate supplies against effects that last for colony days. Put scarce materials into research, repairs or expansion. Your decisions, workforce and room specializations shape how your colony develops along its story.Keep the lights on when the ground shakes
Prepare for breakdowns and earthquakes. Fund maintenance, strengthen safety and care for the injured. When damage spreads through your colony, choose what to restore first—and what must wait.Build toward a future beyond survival
Discover the Thermal Rift, Fungal Sea and Resonant Archive, each with its own machinery, hazards and story. Follow the signals beneath your colony, restore forgotten machinery and uncover the story through discoveries and cinematic scenes. Undertake Grand Projects, send teams on surface expeditions and choose a Civilization Project. Reach the current campaign finale, then continue caring for the settlement you built.What will your people endure to reach the light?
