About the Game

The world-machine is broken. The sun has become a baleful orb of radiation. The Celestial Bureaucracy is in disarray. You, the Captain-General of a great ark, must lead your people rimwards, away from the gaze of the green sun.

Optimize Your Production

Survive your voyage by maximising your production of valuable resources:

  • Food fuels your buildings, and stockpiles increase their cycle speed.

  • Production allows you to construct more buildings on your ever-expanding ark.

  • Inspiration enables you to hire crew members with unique skills to improve your buildings.

  • ... or buy buildings and hire crew members outright by spending Gold at the dockside markets.

Choose Your Great House

Pick between a range of Great Houses, each with their own unique ark, buildings and crewmates. Command House Arioch's golden flagship, the Diurnal Ark, and harness the expertise of their engineers and artisans - or choose House Mnesis, whose ark, the titanic Shepherd Moon, is a motherlode of precious raw materials.

Exploit the Houses' specialities, mitigate their shortcomings, and lead them to a safe refuge on the rim.

Key Features

  • Explore a vibrant world, with diverse biomes and settlements.

  • Command 4 unique Great Houses, each requiring a different strategy to reach victory.

  • Build your ultimate engine with over 100 buildings and specialized crew members.

  • Play at your own pace with pause and time acceleration.

  • Multiple routes to victory, either focusing on peaceful production or blasting your enemies into submission.
