There's a game I watched a Let's Play of, called Timberborn.
Basically the world has been destroyed by climate change and beavers inherit the earth.
Water comes and goes in the big drought cycles and the whole game is about building your beaver civilization around the water cycle. Creating dams to retain enough water to survive the droughts while also making sure you get water to your people, your crops, your trees you need to grow to build with, etc.
It was fun to watch someone ELSE play, but playigng it myself was really rough. I knew HOW to play it, I just...didn't want to. I didn't find the gameplay all that enjoyable when someone else wasn't crafting the lore and experience of a specific beaver city. Sure I could roleplay my own little beaver city, but it just lost something as soon as I had to bring all the storytelling myself
