Hello everyone!

I’m Andrii Vasyliev, the Studio Director at Docklight Games. We are a small, passionate team excited to share our first project, Above: Colonies of the Mist, with you. We hope our dedication inspires your interest and support.

It feels surreal to finally be writing this. We've been wanting to do this for years. Six months ago, we finally started, and I am absolutely thrilled to share what we've been developing. Our team is small, but we genuinely hope you’ll enjoy what we’ve created.

What is Above: Colonies of the Mist?

Above: Colonies of the Mist is a survival colony builder set in a challenging world where space is scarce, resources are limited, and every decision matters. You must establish a temporary foothold in the hilltops above a deadly, toxic mist. Mount daring expeditions into the valleys to scavenge ancient monuments.

Our game is ambitious for a small team, and we believe it features some interesting, fresh elements for the colony builder genre. We are committed to realizing our vision and making it the best it can be.

  • Vertical Construction: Build your colony from the ground up, rising above the wilderness and strategically using height to survive the rising mist.

  • Interconnected Settlements: Build and manage colonies across multiple sites on the map, connecting them with ziplines and bridges to coordinate the flow of resources and the migration of colonists.

  • Cycles of DiscoveryThese harsh lands are not your new home. You will explore new maps in repeated cycles, using your hard-won knowledge to extract more ancient secrets and resources before the environment inevitably overwhelms your settlement.

We are currently six months into development, and while there is still a long road ahead, we are proud of our progress and eager to share more details, screenshots, and insights soon.
