About
We Are The Caretakers is an afrofuturist squad management RPG. Assemble an arcane team of protectors in squad-building systems inspired by Darkest Dungeon and XCOM. Defend the endangered animals your world relies on in strategic auto-battle combat. Define your approach to a global resistance with every action in a modern, sci-fi take on Ogre Battle. We Are The Caretakers is a strategy game fusion like nothing you’ve seen before.
- ORIGINAL AFROFUTURIST UNIVERSE: Former Activision-Blizzard artist Anthony Jones brings breathtaking afrofuturist style and human empathy to a complex sci-fi world.
- REPUTATION SYSTEM: Every action affects how others see the Caretakers. Do they fear you? Or will they support your quest to protect the endangered Raun, and decide the fate of the world?
- SQUAD BUILDING: Assemble up to 9 squads of characters with diverse traits, weaknesses, abilities, and personalities. Train and upgrade your Caretakers across 20+ unique job classes.
- COMPLEX CONFLICT: An innovative combination of autobattling combat and permanent consequences shows the messy reality of animal conservation.
- TAILORED GENERATION: Our new approach to procedural generation means you get infinite, interesting levels, that still feel hand-made.
- NUANCED NARRATIVE: In our morally-complex world, the individuals outside your squad matter as much as the rangers you deploy on each map.
- CULTURAL DIPLOMACY: Meet international and community leaders inside your sci-fi HQ. Balance their conflicting demands to save our world.
- RIGOROUS RESEARCH: Guide the direction and specialties of your organization. From field-level technology upgrades, to large-scale speculative R&D, your decisions have a global impact.
- YOU GET A BABY RAUN: It will nuzzle against your bed long after it grows too large to reasonably do so. It is adorable.
