The New Zealand-based indie games publisher and game developer Balancing Monkey Games, are today extremely happy and excited to announce that their civilization-building game “Before We Leave” is coming to PC via Steam on May 13th, 2021.

Previously an Epic Games Store exclusive, this hit indie city builder will be coming to Steam with all of its content updates and patches, available to all players.

Since the game’s launch in May 2020, Before We Leave has included a vast amount of additional content for its players at no extra cost. This includes the following updates:

The Kraken Comes – An update bringing submarines, trading ships, the Kraken guardian, and underground shelters.
Over & Under – An update rolling out new overlays for better experiences, new UI and UX, new languages, and more.

Over the past ten months, this title has sold more than 50,000 copies and has become one of 2020’s best indie gaming hits. Before We Leave’s Metascore currently sits favorably with critics and has continued to improve over time as more players dive into the game and provide valuable feedback.

In the game, players are tasked with rebuilding civilization after a galactic disaster wiped everything clean. They do this by building towns, managing resources, discovering ancient tech and creating a planetary network of colonies to thrive in their own cozy corner of the universe.

Before We Leave will be available to purchase on Steam beginning May 13th and is currently available on the Epic Games Store for $19.99.
