About This Game

By day: farm and fortify

The yard is tiny. Click the map and Ahe clears land, plants potatoes and chilis, builds crossbows, lights lanterns, lays spikes and patches the gate. Scrap is short, you want everything, and the day is only so long.

By night: hold the yard

When the sun goes down, they come up the road. Crossbows only see what's lit, and whatever your flashlight catches stops in its tracks. Lose the gate and the house is all that's left. Make it to dawn: the crops ripen, and the convoy is one day closer.

An 8-chapter campaign, 56 levels

Grandma's yard, a highway rest stop, a snowed-in school, the safe zone wall, the flood, the escort, the push. Every chapter brings a new map and a new tool: generators and searchlights, bonfires and greenhouses, machine-gun nests, electrified flood water, crossbows on wheels.

Expedition: The Way Home

Drive your convoy stop by stop toward the safe zone. Each stop is a freshly generated yard; between stops you pick boons, buy blueprints and run into things on the road. 7 convoys, 6 regions, difficulty 0 to 20, about an hour per run.

Daily Route · Endless Watch

Every day, everyone drives the same road: who holds the most nights and keeps the most food? In Endless Watch, one yard holds until it falls. A new yard every week, with leaderboards.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Pre-generated content: store art, event illustrations, region maps and expedition backdrops were made with a locally run AI image model (Qwen-Image), then hand-picked and converted to the game's 32-colour palette; the background music was made with a locally run AI music model (ACE-Step), then hand-picked and edited. The game generates no AI content while you play. Campaign visuals, characters, UI and sound effects are drawn and synthesized in code.
