dotAGE: Folkways DLC after the survival roguelite turn-based city builder game update on Linux, Steam Deck, Mac, and Windows PC. Thanks to the creative mind of developer Michele Pirovano. Working to make its way onto Steam soon.
Michele Pirovano, the mastermind behind the indie gem has some exciting news to share. Brace yourselves because there’s a lot to unpack, and it’s all pretty brilliant.
DLC Alert: dotAGE: Folkways
Get ready to welcome the Pipfolks! The first DLC, called dotAGE: Folkways, is officially on the way and due to launch in early 2025. This isn’t just a sprinkle of new content — it’s a full-on buffet. Here’s what’s coming to Linux and Steam Deck:
- Pipfolks in the village: Convince these quirky characters to join your settlement. They come with handy bonus traits, but there’s a catch—make sure to feed them right, or it could get messy.
- New ways to deal with Pips: Whether you like them or loathe them, the dotAGE: Folkways brings mechanics to both keep them around or send them packing. Spoiler alert: they can be hilariously annoying!
- Fresh buildings and mechanics: Build unique structures that shake up the quest with their special quirks.
- Three new Elders: Each one brings exclusive gameplay changes to keep things fresh.
- More cats: Because honestly, who doesn’t want more cats in their village?
- Plus, new terrains, creatures, resources, and, of course, those delightful (and often chaotic) events we all like.

Update 1.5: The Beaver
Besides dotAGE: Folkways, update 1.5 is already here, and it’s free for everyone playing on Steam and Switch. This one’s a crowd-pleaser because it adds features you’ve been asking for:
- Seeded runs: Share your run’s seed with friends and challenge them to survive the Apocalypse better than you.
- Separate elder files: Want to dive into a Santa run without messing up your current gameplay? Now you can!
- Multiple player profiles: Share an account but keep your own progress. No more sibling sabotage.
Against the Storm Collab
This update also introduces a new VIP straight from Against the Storm — say hello to the Beaver. Eremite Games and Michele Pirovano teamed up to bring this adorable critter into the world of dotAGE, and it’s a fantastic addition, before the Folkways, Pipfolks join the gameplay.
For those new to the survival roguelite turn-based city builder title, it combines deep worker placement mechanics with a board-game vibe. You’ll assign workers, grow crops, herd animals, bury the dead (it happens), and keep your village thriving — if you’re lucky. Every turn counts, so think ahead or face the outcomes.
So, are you ready for dotAGE: Folkways? It’s releasing early 2025, and it’s already shaping up to be a must-have. Until then, dive into the Beaver and see if you can survive long enough to welcome the Pipfolks. Coming to Linux, Steam Deck (verified), Mac, and Windows PC on Steam.
You can find the base game on Steam and GOG with a 20% discount for $14.07 USD / £11.99 / 13,99€, regular price on Humble Store.
