После 2 лет и пребывания в раннем доступе студия Veom Studio совместно с издательством Crytivo выпустила релизную версию 1.0 научно-фантастической экономической стратегии The Crust.

Для игроков, которые планируют завершить длительные прохождения на старых картах, создатели сохранили доступ к предыдущей сборке раннего доступа через бета-ветку…
