    Dwarf fortress is wild to read about. One of these days I’ll be brave enough to try it.

      Oh it’s a forever free game, the Steam version comes with some exclusive cosmetic stuff. It’s definitely the nicest way to play, but the free version still gets all the updates.

        doesn’t cost money, “Free” is probably not the right word, lol

            There is a cost, but it’s not measured in currency.

                Oh. Oh no. No no no no no.
                I know somebody who played for 48 hours straight, passed out on his way to the bathroom, and broke his shoulder.
                It’s not like any other game.

                  I’ve played Dwarf Fortress (since 0.31). I’m not in the least bit suprised. It is seriously addictive.

                  As for myself I’ve had way too many “I’ll just…” then “oh damn it’s 3am again”.

      You can download it off the Devs, and it’ll be free, but the UI is about as opaque as a foot-thick wall of lead.

      Alternatively, you can buy the Steam version, and that one is way more accessible.
