About the Game

The sky is no longer a road, and the railways are beyond repair.

After a catastrophic meteor impact shattered the continent of Aris, only the roads remain — and the vehicles that can travel upon them.

You are an engineer at the factory in "Karless", the last city capable of producing vehicles. Design and automate production lines to manufacture cars, and ship them out to reconnect the severed regions of Aris.

Mine raw resources, research new technologies, and build increasingly complex supply chains — from raw ore to steel plates, from engine modules to a fully assembled vehicle rolling off the line.

Key Features

  ∙ Multi-Tier Production Chains — Transform raw resources through three tiers of crafting: ores into intermediates, intermediates into 10 distinct vehicle modules, and modules into a complete car. Every component matters.

  ∙ Full Factory Automation — Lay conveyor belts, splitters, and storage boxes to move items between machines. Set up electric miners, material processors, and assemblers to keep your factory running without lifting a finger.

  ∙ Power Grid Management — Build power plants and choose between wind and fuel modules. Connect machines through power pole networks — no power, no production.

  ∙ Research & Upgrade System — Unlock new recipes and machines through a branching tech tree. Earn stat points to boost crafting speed, belt throughput, mining efficiency, and more.

  ∙ Campaign & Missions — Follow guided objectives that take you from your first manually mined ore to shipping a fully automated vehicle. Each milestone brings you closer to reconnecting the continent.

  ∙ World Map Progression — Ship vehicles to unlock new regions across the shattered continent of Aris. Each zone presents new challenges and resources.

  ∙ Post-Apocalyptic Narrative — Discover the story of Aris through mission briefings, journal entries from the previous engineer, and the traces left behind as you push further into the unknown.
