Restore a Shattered World

Worlds Upon the Wind is a peaceful roguelite deckbuilder about rebuilding a shattered civilization after the apocalypse. Guide settlers across drifting world shards, making tactical choices and weaving new traditions as you restore life to forgotten lands.

Deep Deckbuilding Strategy

Assemble your deck from hundreds of powerful Glyphs and unique Relics, each offering new strategic possibilities. Use glyphs to transform the environment, and manipulate your chances with powerful invocations. Craft glyphs, balance your deck, and develop unique builds to adapt to the ever-changing landscape and challenges.

Follow the History of Japanese Art

Immerse yourself in a unique visual style that traces the evolution of Japanese art from ancient picture scrolls to the different styles of Japanese woodblock prints. Serene landscapes, gentle music, and classical hand-painted scenes invite you to reflect and savor each moment as you're planning your next move.

Roguelite Replayability

Each expedition features procedurally generated world shards filled with different biomes, events, challenges, and opportunities. Every choice shapes the fate of your settlers and grants new glyphs and relics to transform your deck. No expedition is wasted, as every budding community leaves a mark, no matter how small.

Hundreds of Unique Events

Face hundreds of dilemmas with no right answers: Keep wildlife at a distance or invite them into your cities? Preserve violent artwork or destroy it? Sacrifice safety for dangerous alchemical experiments, or seek harmony at the cost of productivity? Choices shape the outcome of your expeditions, as well as the contents of your deck.

Storyline and Meta-Progression

Follow the tale of a civilization surviving the destruction of everything they have ever known, and learning to live in a strange new world. Each run not only offers unique gameplay opportunities, but also grants insights that teach new skills and lead your people closer to coming to terms with their new reality.

Hauntings and Animal Companions

Pacify restless spirits haunting the world shards, and befriend 15 unique animal companions through their own questlines, each offering a game-changing ability to help in future runs.

Peaceful World Rebuilding

After the world's collapse, violence is a memory best left behind. Shape forests, deserts, and ruins through careful planning and resourcefulness, rather than conflict. Every expedition is a chance to nurture new communities and preserve the balance between humans, nature, and the lingering memories of the past.

Worlds Upon the Wind is a journey of restoration and community; a tactical game for those who prefer to take their time and weigh their choices. You will find no fast-paced action or hero's journeys here.
