Hold The Roost

The humans have left for the day. Night is coming. The forest is hungry.

Muster the flock. Fortify your roost and assign roles by day — then light the fires and man the towers as night falls. Hold back the predators while your gatherers scour the vacant human facilities for resources and your hens incubate the next generation.

How long can your roost survive?

Day Cycle

Construct towers and equip them with an arsenal of weapons and ammunition types.

Place campfires along the banks to illuminate the battlefield and expose incoming threats.

Lay traps along the assault path to damage, slow, and disrupt advancing predators.

Assign your chickens to vital roles — man the towers, gather resources, brood eggs, or root through the yard for useful finds.

When the sun sets, your preparations will be tested.

Night Cycle

Shooters take their positions and scan the darkness to eliminate threats.

Campfires ignite, pushing back the night and revealing advancing predators.

Gatherers enter vacant human facilities to collect resources while the predators close in.

Foxes, snakes, and other forest hunters march on your roost, seeking to steal your eggs and end your resistance.

If your defenses fail, your brood will be taken.

Features (Some Systems in Development)

• Advanced tower targeting modes let you prioritize enemies by threat level, health, speed, flying status, distance, and more — giving you full tactical control over the battlefield.

• Predators use evolutionary advantages to work through your defenses. Snakes shed their skin to remove negative effects and recover, while foxes tunnel into the ground to bypass defenses.

• You can’t hit what you can’t see. Firelight reveals nearby enemies, while incendiary ammunition keeps burning targets visible even in total darkness.

• Balance risk and reward through kill-driven incubation. Level up your eggs to hatch stronger chickens. Each night, you may choose to trigger additional waves of escalating difficulty to accelerate incubation — but if you overestimate your defenses, predators will overrun your roost and steal your eggs.

• Research new weapons and traps by investing gathered resources. Obtain rare blueprints for permanent weapon unlocks through achievements and rare finds.

• Recruit your best chickens into your long-term roster, allowing you to carry your most elite into future runs.
