The Wandering Village is a wonderful city-builder where you're building on the back of a massive creature. Currently in Early Access, Stray Fawn Studio just released a big watery upgrade. With Native Linux support and a Steam Deck Verified status, it's an easy choice to recommend from my own time spent enjoying the idea.
With the Ocean Update out now it's added a whole new biome to wander through, building upgrades, new decorations, a hostility modifier system, new buildings, new events, new locations and much more. Check out the new trailer below:

They have a lot more planned to add into the game including new biomes, improved villager AI and an improved happiness system, flying merchants to trade with, birds you can tame, more buildings, more events, more locations and the list goes on. Lots of good systems in place they can keep expanding on so I'm keen to see how much more they add in but it's already a really fantastic combination.

I've been following the game's development for quite a while now, and I'm keen on some genres that The Wandering Village seems to mix: survival, strategy, base building 4X... And, well, there's the novelty of the game premise itself, which uniquely calls to me.
You see, I have two cats, a dog, and a bunny. And they're all very curious about the world outside. They love to explore, and they're always getting into trouble. The older cat is an escape artist and gets outside even when it's forbidden. The younger cat keeps appearing in the most unlikely places (on the top of a closet, yesterday). The dog doesn't remember that he's friends with two cats at home, and when he's outside, he's only interested in chasing them. And the rabbit... well, the rabbit has his sex drive overclocked or something. He even tried to "seduce" my dog.
So I think they'd really enjoy living in a village that's constantly on the move. Who knows, maybe they'll end up making friends with the beast below.
