About Project Rebearth
Project Rebearth is an indie strategy game where players rebuild civilization on a digital clone of Earth after a cataclysmic collapse. Developed by Program Sam and released January 30, 2026, it blends single-player survival with multiplayer collaboration in an MMO setting. You manage resources, construct towns, and trade with others while uncovering lore about Earth's past. Available on PC, Linux, and Mac, the game focuses on large-scale planning and community interaction. Its standout feature is the 1:1 scale Earth replica, where every region is a playable area. Think city-building meets global diplomacy, with a post-apocalyptic twist.
Gameplay
In Project Rebearth, you start with a small settlement and gather raw materials like wood, stone, and metal. The interface is grid-based but lets you place buildings freely across the terrain. Each action, hunting, farming, or mining, requires balancing efficiency against environmental factors like weather and resource depletion. Trading with nearby players or AI factions demands negotiation skills, as supply chains break easily. The MMO mode ties everyone to the same map, so you might compete for prime land or team up to defend against AI threats. Combat is minimal but strategic, focusing on raiding or defending supply lines. The game’s pacing is slow, rewarding patience over quick wins.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate Project Rebearth 4.3/5, with 72% completing its core objectives. Average playtime clocks in at 45 hours, though 12% report over 200 hours. Community moods are split: 68% call it "fascinating," while 23% label it "frustrating," citing a steep learning curve. A top review says, "It’s like SimCity with real-world geopolitics, but the tutorials need work." Over 1.2 million achievements have been unlocked, including "Global Trader" (12% success rate) and "Historian" (uncovering all 150+ lore fragments). Critics praise the scale but note bugs in terrain generation, especially in mountainous regions.
PlayPile's Take
Project Rebearth is a must-play for strategy fans who enjoy slow-burn systems and collaborative worlds. At $29.99, it offers more replayability than most indie titles. The MMO mode shines when players unite to rebuild cities or trade rare goods, but solo sessions can feel isolating. If you thrive in complex, player-driven ecosystems, this game will hook you. Skip it if you hate grinding or prefer fast-paced action. The 72% completion rate suggests it’s ambitious but not entirely polished. Worth the time if you’re patient and love building something bigger than yourself.
