Import saves?

The saves in the zip file replace your saves that have the same name. If the game runs, it starts again.

Reset game files?

This puts back all the files that the game came with, also the files that you deleted or changed. Files that the game made, such as saves, stay. If the game keeps a save in one of its own files, that save is lost. If the game runs, it starts again.

Delete your saves?

This deletes all your saves and all your changes to this game. You cannot undo this. To keep a copy, export your saves first. If the game runs, it starts again.

I first heard of this game in the TV show Young Sheldon and now i understand why he liked the game so much. 10/10 would recommend.

I almost made it, but the guy named Kavin in my game got snake bites, broken arms and legs, dysentery, and exhaustion. I'm surprised he didn't die first. 😔

I never got to play this in my entire life until tonight. I tried once and won as a carpenter with 3400+ points. Awesome! My mom died though.

I suck at this game. One guy died, the other 4 were in bad health, I only got 1419. Still, I think I'll do it another seven or eight times.

This doesn't seem to be working any more, does anyone know somewhere else my daughter can play it? She is 7 and I'm worried that this is going to be taken down forever.

ZOPisDEAD 07 Mar. 2022

Lol ZOP kept getting sick so I just kept resting for 9 days, then eventually I got annoyed that he was getting sick and stopped caring and then ZOP died like 3 times, so I finally made him a gravestone. It's a fun game, I tried this because my parents were talking about games they played when they were younger, and this sounded fun. I almost didn't stop playing, it's quite addictive.

I got 4th with 2586. I kept a steady pace most of the way with the meager rations. Every once in a while a two or three day rest was helpful. Also hunting every so often. I think the smartest thing was buying 400 lbs. of food at the beginning. I started with 4 oxen and ended with three (a thief stole the fourth). BTW, you get double points if you're a carpenter.

The Toad family 25 Jun. 2021

We made it with 12 oxen. Fear us

Ultimate Muscle 15 Jun. 2021

I was -literally- 30 miles from completing the game on farmer mode with no deaths then 2 of my ox died and then a thief came and STOLE ALL 4 OF MY REMAINING OX in one night. Game over.

@Reaper -- stop the game, and switch the "Game Executable" from "INSTALL.EXE" to "OREGON.EXE" in the options above the game window. :)
