Of Life and Land 1.0 release for the settlement-building strategy game is coming in full on Linux, Steam Deck, and Windows PC. Thanks to the creative minds at Kerzoven for evolving their title. Which you can find via Steam Early Access with its 86% Very Positive reviews.
After more than a year in Early Access, Of Life and Land is finally leveling up to a 1.0 release on Linux and Steam Deck. Mark your calendars: on May 16, 2025, the full version will be out on Steam. And yep, there’s also a 40% launch discount coming to celebrate. You have like to see it.
If you haven’t played yet, this is a peaceful nature-sim meets settlement-building strategy where you guide your villagers through chill expansion and survival in a beautifully alive world. Think cozy vibes, but with a brainy strategy twist. Every tree, animal, and plant in the game has its own behavior and purpose. It’s not just about building — it’s about working with nature. And trust me, it’s addictively satisfying.
With Of Life and Land 1.0, the devs at Metaroot and Kerzoven are bringing some serious new content. There’s a brand-new historical scenario based on the real-life Counts of Lenzburg from medieval Switzerland. You’ll get to build your own Lenzburg Castle, deal with political drama between the church and the empire, and uncover ancient myths hiding in the hills. It’s like your own little medieval Netflix series, but you’re in control.
