Exark

About the Game

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:

• 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.

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.
