Founders’ Fortune is a colony simulator that draws a lot of inspiration from the Sims: It incorporates a lot of creative building and puts a heavy focus on the colonists themselves, simulating thoughts, wishes, expectations, and traits.

These psychological components have a tremendous influence on the game: Migrants will only consider your colony if you can fulfill the expectations of your inhabitants. Your colonists think of a lot of wishes and you need to fulfill at least some of them to keep them happy and productive.

Like other colony games, there are resources to gather, technologies to unlock, and dangers to survive. Colonists get experienced in their professions unlocking new and faster ways to do their jobs.
