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 to access the Hazards System - additional modifiers to make the journey even more difficult, selectable at the start of a run.
The Star Atlas - earn Star Shards at the end of each run, which can be used to forge Stars that can be slotted into the Star Atlas to provide both powerful blessings, but also a irksome curse.
Also, look out for the fifth Great House - the Infinite Kingdom, comprised of robot-knights astride the mighty ark Carcharodon - coming up in a subsequent update!
We look forward to welcoming you to the (admittedly somewhat post-apocalyptic) world of Exark. As always, we're committed to making Exark the best experience we can, so please do leaving a comment in the Steam forums or joining our Discord here to give us feedback.
And last but not least - for inventory management auto-battler fans, check out the Exark x Down with the Ship bundle and get an extra 10% discount!
