We are happy to have Craftlings be part of SimFest 2025 - Workers & Resources Edition, the annual celebration of all things simulation which is running until July 28th! Under your steady guidance, you will be able to turn your diligent but hapless craftlings into a refined resource and gathering production chain.

Experiment with the buildings at your disposal to optimize your craftlings production chains, to further streamline the efficiency of your blossoming village. Blast your way through the dirt, take risks, venture past your settlement to find additional resources, but be ever wary of what dangers lurks around the corner.
Now go forth and build! Play the Demo now! And join the craftling chatter on our Twitter[x.com], Bluesky [bsky.app]or join us on Discord[discord.com].

Craftlings is included in Steam Next Fest from now until 16 June.

Steam Next Fest is a week-long celebration where players can learn about upcoming games and check out demos. 

Craftlings is a resource-management strategy game where you must help your hapless Craftlings create a settlement, expand and survive. After being attacked by a giant octopus and stranded on an unknown island the Craftlings need to gather resources, build and even create an economy to prepare for an epic battle against the creature that stranded them here.

The Craftlings demo features 2 playable levels where you learn how to manage and motivate your Craftlings, farming, combat and even some spells.
