About The Next World
The Next World was developed by Illuminated Games and published by AAD Productions. The release date was March 7, 2016. The genre is characterised as Adventure and Casual and Indie.
Welcome to The Next World - a strategic visual novel by Illuminated Games, telling the story of a crashed colony ship and its ragged group of survivors, trying to make a new life on the wrong planet. TNW is a visual novel/strategy hybrid inspired by The Banner Saga, King of Dragon Pass and Oregon Trail, with an emphasis on planning and decision-making over combat. Keep as many colonists alive as possible by making the tough decisions which will determine how your adventure unfolds. Build colony structures, salvage wreckage, resolve problems with multiple branching outcomes, and manage your colony's dwindling supplies; all while playing through an intense story of political intrigue, sabotage, desperation and survival, by writer Ryan A. Span (FRONTIERS, Mount&Blade, Euclidean). • Robust strategy system - manage your colony on a hostile world & keep your people alive • Fully hand-drawn art in retro-industrial sci-fi style • Two different protagonists to choose from, each with their own quirks and methods • Colourful and memorable cast of NPCs • Dozens of events to help you or challenge you • Hundreds of decisions to make, each with its own consequences

The Next World launched at $12.99 in 2016. The cheapest currently listed total is $2.52 at Kinguin, which is -81% off the recommended price.
Official stores start at $12.99, so the keyshop route saves $10.47 on this title. That saving comes with a trade-off: keyshop listings are resold keys, and a listing marked as a gift is not a standard key. The key type column above tells you which is which.
Feed update times differ by store. Confirm the current price, product type and activation region on the store page before completing the purchase. Our comparison methodology explains matching, ranking and checkout-fee limitations.
