BEFORE WE LEAVE: A real time strategy game without the conquest

Emerge from your bunker and rebuild your world in strategy game Before We Leave by New Zealand's Balancing Monkey Games.

May 31, 2021 2:20 PM

Before We Leave is a mostly non-violent strategy game where players emerge from a bunker to reclaim their world after a disaster in a beautiful hex built world which has just made its Steam debut.

Developers Anna Barham and Sam Barham from New Zealand's Balancing Monkey Games wanted to make a game that actively challenged the inherent colonialism in many other strategy games as you rebuild in a world once yours.

Pixel Sift is produced by Viv Thum, Fiona Bartholomaeus, Daniel Ang & Adam Christou. Mitch Loh is Senior Producer and Gianni Di Giovanni is our Executive Producer.

Thanks to Salty Dog Sounds for some of our promo music.
