Cradle TD

You're the last line of containment holding back the Cradle — and the maze you build with your own defenses is the only thing standing between the Zone and everything beyond it.

A maze-building tower defense where every tower you place is the wall — shape the enemy's path with your own defenses, then watch the mutated horde tear straight through anything too weak to hold. Command the Engineers, wielding scavenged pre-catastrophe hardware turned into your only real defense against the Zone.

This is an early playtest build — the core maze-building and combat loop is playable across 5 hand-built levels, with a complete placeholder art and sound pass in place to make it feel like a real game to play. This is not final art or audio — dedicated designers will handle the game's real visual and audio identity later in development. A second playable faction (Mages, channeling the Zone's own corrupted power) is planned for a future build, not yet playable in this one.
