Austrian indie studio Nestwork Games has announced their debut title: Crowded, a feathery citybuilder where players build a treetop city for a colony of adorable, hyper-advanced crows. The game will be available to play at Gamescom next week at the Indie Arena Booth (Hall 10.2, Booth F010g - E019g). Use every tool at your disposal and your imagination to keep the flock safe and sound.

Crowded

Find bugs and building materials, then manage resources effectively. Explore a landscape of lush forests and sprawling meadows. Expand your territory to plant new trees. Affect the environment and create a form of transportation by manipulating the wind.

An Announcement Trailer has also been released for Crowded by Nestwork Games.

Alex Grenus, one of the devs at Nestwork Games, says, “We wanted our game to feel truly avian. So, we came up with a design philosophy we call Featherpunk. And as city builder fans, we know how enjoyable it is to watch our tiny people, animals, cars, etc, go about their lives. In German (to no one’s surprise), there is even a word for it, ‘Wuselfaktor’. We also want this in our game, so our buildings feature a lot of open space to watch the crows, and if you look closely, you can find some cute details.”

Crowded is available to wishlist now on Steam.
