Anyone heard of, or, for that matter, played Dwarf Fortress?
It's very complex and has a steep learning curve, which I'm still treading up. But when you learn how things work and how things are done, it gets easier every new fortress you play.
So basically DF is a game of management, one has a handful of Dwarfs, which have set our to create a fortress, surprisingly. You, the player, must oversee construction, industry, a militia, to name a few, and pretty much facilitate to the little guys' needs.
Of course it is overwhelming, that is every DF newbie's fear. But there's a tutorial to get you off on the right foot, and an in depth wiki which you can just consult like a handbook.
