Carve mountains, traverse seas, and explore untamed new lands as you build grand cities – the ingenuity of the humble mouse is on full display in Whiskerwood as you establish elaborate automation systems to efficiently run complex production chains, all while dealing with the oppressive demands of your cat overlords.

As the dominion of cats spreads across the seas, the common mouse is sent forth from its home on perilous journeys. Arriving by ship on untouched islands rich in resources, the mouse must quickly establish a colony to meet the immediate and ever-growing demands of its feline masters.

• The cities of Whiskerwood are built on islands, and though they range in size, space will always be limited – utilize rodent rigor to build upwards and pierce the skies, or dig deep underground and into the cliff sides and mountains that dot the land to make the most of the space available to you. Verticality is key in Whiskerwood – it brings with it great opportunities and challenges alike.
• Though your ship arrives with an initial supply of resources and a starting band of mice, you must quickly establish core structures, essential services, and production capabilities to ensure continued growth and prosperity. Establish logistics networks and healthcare facilities, ensure buildings are properly heated and maintained, and send forth your mice to fell trees, mine mountains, and tend to the fields and fish. The cats will demand their due, and your own citizens will abandon the colony if their needs aren’t met on a daily basis – you must strike a perfect balance between the needs of the mouse and the demands of the cat.
• Colonists have unique attributes that impact their ability to efficiently perform tasks, and each belongs to one of several guilds influencing their preferences, strengths, and weaknesses. Assign tasks to each of your mice accordingly, and pay special attention to their personal traits as well – some will have a preference for living underground or in solitude, while others will overlook pollution and happily live in even the most industrial parts of your city.

The life of a pioneer is not an easy one – far from home and familiar comforts, you must learn to withstand and harness the forces of nature to provide for your colony and tend to the needs of your mousefolk.

• Shape the land through terraforming, creating massive burrows for housing and storage within mountains, or drawing water deep inland from the coast to power your industry. Invest the time to flatten vast expanses of land to ease construction projects, or work around the peaks and valleys of each new procedurally generated island map.
• Climate plays a key role in the success of your new home – a stormy day might dampen the enthusiasm of your mice, while a cold front can ruin a harvest or endanger lives. Build intricate networks of pipes to heat water and run steam-powered climate control systems, and burrow deep underground to protect winter stockpiles.
• Maximize agricultural output by paying close attention to each crop’s specific needs – a damp cavern is optimal for mushrooms, but wheat requires sunlight and fertile soil. Will you seek out distant areas where optimal conditions occur naturally, or engineer the perfect environment closer to home?
• Mouselow’s Hierarchy of Needs is in full effect – ensure an ample supply of food and water, provide shelter, and organize maintenance services to keep the colony running. Then, decide whether to construct grand statues of your feline overlords to boost productivity at the cost of morale, or prioritize happiness with parks and fountains. The needs of your mousefolk must be balanced carefully against the demands of the clawed paw above.

The industrious mouse is not only a hard worker, but a clever one too – harness the power of automation to sniff out efficiency at every corner. Implement conveyor systems to carry goods faster than a mouse’s paw alone could, and pursue advanced technologies to evolve from a humble colony to a steam-powered mousetropolis.

• Whiskerwood boasts 40 different commodities to gather, manufacture, or trade for the colony’s well-being and feline satisfaction. Extract raw materials like metal ore, timber, and wheat; manufacture processed goods such as ropes, coats, and prepared meals; and pursue luxury items like spices, teas, and furniture to meet the growing desires of settled mousefolk.
• Fulfill feline demands to gain favor and access to rare goods, or instead pursue trade relations with other factions of mice and pirate lords.
• Build intricate mazes of conveyor belts, ramps, elevators, and slides to move goods efficiently across your colony. With limited time each day, efficiency is everything.
• Lay pipelines to transport water and steam over long distances, using pumps, watertowers, radiators, and vents to keep your infrastructure running smoothly.
• Tinker in research labs to develop new technologies, buildings, and policies that will bring prosperity to mousekind.

There’s only so far a mouse can be pushed before it must push back – the demands of the cat grow more unreasonable by the day. The shipments must be fulfilled to feline satisfaction, or their henchmen will violently remind you of your duties. Will you forever serve the oppressive paw, or will you raise your whiskers in defiance?
