Your people await your orders, and as your Herald and lead advisor, my job is to give you the knowledge that will help you lead humanity against the horrors of the Mist, and to reconquer the lands that were lost. Starting a new campaign will lead you through a quick series of tutorials, and it is highly recommended that you play these if this is your first time with the game. Cataclismo combines brick-by-brick castle building with resource management to defend humanity against swarms of horrors as you construct vast fortifications, build up an army, and unravel new mysteries. In a world where the Mist has transformed the landscape, you’ll need to optimize your citadel during the day, and prepare your defenses to fight the horrors that come after sundown. Each night brings new horror types and larger waves as you balance exploration, your population, and the limited resources on the map. Can you survive the night and restore hope to humanity? Lady Iris is the main character in the campaign and will be present throughout the other modes. Born with a Perla stone embedded in her chest, she is a special unit able to perform Artes, special abilities that give her various advantages on the battlefield. Spend time looking over these to see where they can best be used. Her most unique ability, however, is the power to create a Time Anchor. This is a waypoint that Lady Iris can set to fold time and then return in the future if things don't go her way. To create a Time Anchor, click Create Manual Time Anchor at the top of your screen or use the F5 key. To return to that Time Anchor, click Return to a previous Time Anchor or use the F9 key. Cataclismo will have several game modes available to play, catering to multiple types of players. Campaign - Experience an extensive and in-depth single-player campaign as you follow Lady Iris and explore the mysteries of the Mist. Early access will initially have ten campaign missions, with the full campaign releasing with 1.0. Skirmish - Attempt to survive multiple nights across various hand-crafted maps and difficulties.

The combination of these will help your economy to grow, and help you to survive the night against waves of horrors. Resources As laid out in the previous section, there are several resources for you to harvest, all of which are necessary for the operation of your city, from its core buildings to its defenses, units, and upgrades. Your wood, stone, and mineral production relies on the amount of resources able to be harvested within their respective building’s radius, with a meter indicating how much of those resources will be harvested every minute. Oxygen features the same meter; however, production is determined by the height at which the air filter has been built. The higher the air filter, the more production there is. Note that air filters can be built on top of other buildings and that is a great way to optimize a small space. Hovering over any of your resource bars in the top left corner will allow you to see that resource's current production rate and, in the case of oxygen, its expenditure rate. Population These buildings can only be built if you have people to work them! Your citizens will move into shacks or houses and will automatically be assigned jobs collecting resources. Resources are deposited either in your citadel or at the closest warehouse; be mindful of how far away your resources are from their final destination. Your citizens are also used in recruiting your army, with larger or more advanced units requiring multiple citizens. It is crucial to remember that your units and buildings all consume oxygen for survival, so building too large of an army too quickly could drastically affect your economy as a whole, especially regarding oxygen consumption. Exploration There are two main reasons for expansion. The first is resource production. As waves of horrors be
