Far Road Games have released their post-apocalyptic town builder, Atomic Society, on Steam Early Access.

Society has completely collapsed, and the remnants of humanity must now scrap together whatever they can find to survive. Establish a village in the wasteland and gradually rebuild civilization. Decide the laws and morals of your new society, and spread your beliefs to neighboring settlements. You can check out the launch trailer above.

The developers expect Atomic Society to be in Early Access for around a year.

Here’s a rundown of the game:

SOCIETY IS DEAD.

SO REMAKE IT.

What kind of society will you make? After nuclear war destroyed civilization, the time has come to rebuild.

What will you legalize, and what will you forbid?

Run society the way you want, good or bad, and create a successful settlement.

Keep hundreds of survivors alive in a dangerous wasteland where life is always hard.

CURRENT FEATURES (More Will Be Added in Future Updates)

Key Features:

• CRIME. Citizens who commit crimes and a wide range of social issues as you play.
• JUDGMENT. Act as judge over a range of social issues including abortion, murder, vegetarianism, drug use, cannibalism, and several other controversial topics.
• PUNISHMENT. Choose between execute, long or short prison sentences, tolerate and even encourage for all the issues that happen in your town. Be whatever kind of leader you want.
• BELIEF. Pick what you believe in and share that with others through violence, exile or education so that your laws are listened to.
• OUTSIDERS. Build defenses to keep raiders out of your town for good. Or make deals with them so they won’t attack you.
