Exark

Greetings, captains!It's time to take flight - Exark is now officially released!For those of you just joining us on the journey, Exark is an inventory management-style engine builder where, as captain-general of the ark, you are tasked with maintaining morale on a perilous 9-flight journey to the Rim of the world.Generate resources - food, gold, production, and inspiration - to boost your morale and keep the trust of your crew and passengers.Find unique and powerful interactions between hundreds of buildings, crew members, items, and relics.Face a bevy of hostile enemy sky-ships and creatures determined to bring down your ark.Survive 9 flights to reach the (questionable) safety of the Event Horizon.For those who are already familiar with the demo, the full version includes:Access to all four Great Houses - the ingenious House Arioch, the industrious House Mnesis, the symbiotic House-in-Exile, and the necromantic House Imperia. (Note that House Imperia still has some placeholder art for its buildings - our pixel artists are working hard on finalizing these and we expect to patch them in over the next few weeks!)The Hazard System - for those looking for a challenge, reach Rank 1

Greetings, captains!The engine are fueled, and our provisions are stocked. It's almost time for our Rimward journey to begin!Exark is releasing on 18 August 2026.
