About the game
The Frontier is a blend between business simulation and survival, exploration games. Starting from nothing: explore, gather resources, craft items, and try to survive your world — all while building up your business empire and great fortune.
The newest build is on the beta branch, more than 36 hours after the public branch. Steam's own Early Access notice looks at the public branch and can miss that beta activity.
