Steam
Exark is a run-based engine builder / autobattler about building a thriving city aboard your gigantic ark-ship on your voyage to the rim of the world. Maximise your resource production, survive the trials of your perilous journey, and lead your people to safety.

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.


Survive your voyage by maximising your production of valuable resources:


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.


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

- Choose between 5 Great Houses to lead to victory.

- Cook up the perfect city with >100 buildings & 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.
