Bithell Games

I should say this more often but it's gets tiring, but: please share the game, link it to a friend, etc. It is by far the most effective way to spread the word for niche games like this.

I saw an early build of this like two years ago and was immediately charmed; really recommend wishlisting if you’re a fan of city builders, simulation, or thinky games

I want to quickly clarify (though this could a blog post) that Holly's historian expertise is actually to ensure that the world's mythology and lore remains accurately vague, contradictory, and incomplete.

We feel this is more realistic to history as we see it and far more interesting for the game

An overview of the Arena, a building that can be constructed in upcoming game Amberspire. On the left is the building art, an ecru coral-like building with numerous irregular arch-shape windows arranged in a band around the upper level, allowing a glimpse into the circular arena and surrounding tiered seating inside. On the right are the details of the building and its flavour text, reading: Arena. Spend resources to gain influence.

On the left is the building art, a small, chapel-like building with tall, thin windows along its sides and a large, circular window above the doorway.
