Attendees of gamescom were absolutely horrified to learn that they would be viewing footage of actual Dwarves doing actual Dwarvin things during Paradox Interactive’s presentation. Luckily, the panic was quickly averted. They were reassured that the video was simply a simulation of what Paradox had seen while digging tunnels in an undisclosed location. Thank God.
Tell your kids to go to the soda-shop while you load this bad boy up. It may be a simulation, but it is still disturbing *shudder*

Yeah those are Dwarves all right. Look at em… digging around. Eatin stuff, gathering ores. It’s so dirty. Can you imagine what their nails must look like?
A Game of Dwarves (it’s like that one show except EVERYONE looks like the little midgit guy) is a dungeon simulation game. Think of Dwarf Fortress. Now imagine what it would look like if any amount of money (seriously, any. amount.) was spent on the graphics.
You can make traps to protect your Dwarf people, prepare weird food for them. All sorts of stuff.
Check out the site here. It will be released sometime before 2013!
