## What is Canadia?

Canadia is a darkly comedic strategy RPG that's part Oregon Trail, Part Fallout set in a post-nuclear Canada where hockey is still a religion, geese are apex predators, and government bureaucracy somehow survived the end of the world. Lead your settlement, forge alliances, and reunify six fractured provinces before the nuclear winter finishes the job.

MANAGE YOUR SETTLEMENT
Juggle seven critical resources: Food, Medicine, Fuel, Scrap, Ammo, Morale, and Influence. Make the hard calls about who eats, who fights, and who leads the next expedition into the irradiated wilderness.

BUILD YOUR PARTY
Recruit from six iconic Canadian archetypes, each with unique abilities:

• Mountie: tank and diplomat; high Charisma, intimidating red serge
• Voyageur: wilderness scout with foraging and exploration bonuses
• Habitant: the party healer and resource backbone
• Roughneck: brute-force fighter with a talent for demolitions
• Coureur: stealthy trader who barters like their life depends on it (it does)
• Tinkerer: improvised engineer with crafting, traps, and repair expertise

REUNIFY THE PROVINCES
Six fractured factions. Six sets of demands. Win them over through trade, military alliance, good old Canadian politeness, or you can always force the issue in combat.

• La Belle Résistance - cultural autonomy and many, many conditions
• Western Freedom Alliance - oil barrels and libertarian conviction
• The Maritime Compact - Salt, fish, and quiet coastal resilience
• Shield Confederacy - Bureaucratic industrial heartland
• Northern Sovereignty - Indigenous governance and deep survival expertise
• Pacific Coalition - Tech salvagers, counterculture, and pragmatic idealism

D&D-STYLE TURN-BASED COMBAT
Roll D20s, manage HP and AC, and use class-specific abilities across tactical encounters. Enemies range from feral geese to rival militias, all treated with the same deadpan gravitas.

CHOOSE YOUR FATE
Hundreds of narrative events challenge your resources and morality. Will you share your last medicine with a rival settlement? Negotiate safe passage through a hockey cult's territory? Trade your generator for a critical diplomatic alliance? Every choice has weight.

FEATURES
• 54 colour retro pixel art
• 6 playable classes, each with unique combat abilities
• 6 province storylines with multiple resolution paths
• Turn-based D&D combat with D20 rolls, AC, and initiative
• Resource and settlement management
• Choose-your-own-adventure event system
• Landscape and portrait orientations
• No ads. No microtransactions. Just retro fun with a Canadian flare.

The True North endures. Can you?


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7.1 — 2026-08-18

Version 1.7 — the station comes back on.

• The swing-radio soundtrack now plays on iPhone and iPad. The 1920s jazz rotation has been in the game for a while, but on iOS it never made it out of the speakers — every track now ships in a format your device can actually decode. Ory's Creole Trombone in the settlement, a rotating set on expeditions.
• Notifications you won't miss. Messages like SOUND ON and SAVE FAILED now appear on every screen, instead of only a couple of them.
• Faster loading and stability work under the hood.

Still cold. Still polite.

### 1.7.0 — 2026-08-03

Bugfixes and General Improvements

### 1.6.0 — 2026-07-12

Version 1.6 — controls that speak your language.

• Consistent on-screen controls. Every prompt now matches the device you're playing on. Touch players see OK, BACK, and the on-screen D-pad and buttons; keyboard players see the keys. No more "press ENTER" on a phone that has no ENTER key.
• A clearer Controls guide. The in-game reference and every on-screen hint now describe the buttons your device actually has.
• Fixes and polish under the hood.

Still cold. Still polite.

### 1.5.1 — 2026-06-21

New soundtrack: a vintage swing-radio rotation now plays across the settlement and your expeditions warm big-band jazz with a late-night-broadcast crackle, in keeping with the rebuild.                
• Sharper controls: the on-screen touch buttons now render correctly in the game's pixel font.        
• Audio balance and a smoother offline update under the hood.

### 1.5 — 2026-06-20

Version 1.5 — the True North gets tougher, fairer, and friendlier.

NEW
• Difficulty modes. Pick your trial at the start of a run: Peacekeeper for a forgiving rebuild, Settler for the classic challenge, or Last Stand for a wasteland that shows no mercy.
• Daily & shareable world seeds. Begin a run from a seed — or type today's date for a daily challenge. Same seed, same world. Compare runs with friends.
• Music everywhere. The soundtrack now carries through expeditions and combat, with new alternate tracks in the rotation.

ACCESSIBILITY
• Colourblind cues — optional non-colour markers for low resources and builds you can't yet afford.
• Separate Music and Sound Effects controls, plus a one-button master mute. Your settings now stick between sessions.
• Game Center achievements now unlock as you play.

FIXES & POLISH
• No more dead-end runs — a settlement that's down to nothing can always scavenge its way back.
• Reproducible runs and behind-the-scenes crash-hardening.
• Your save carries forward across updates, and the diplomacy screen now reads every reunification condition correctly.

Still cold. Still polite. Now with options.
