About This Demo

In this demo you get to play through the first act of the game! Unlock technologies all the way until electricity, and shape your gameplay with a selected set of four different culture trees. With the sandbox-style gameplay, there is plenty to do even when you're limited to the more primitive era of your civilization!

Arc of Icarus

Build and lead your colony on a lost ringworld, where deadly conditions await on both sides while the world keeps turning! Progress through technological evolution, survive cultural revolution, and govern with a wise and steady hand!

BUILD & GROW

Extract, gather and process resources from the world surface to build and feed your civilization. Balance exploring new materials and buildings with sustaining what you already have. What will you build, and what will you leave behind?

SURVIVE & ADAPT

Migrate your people out of hazardous conditions and towards their next home. One side of the ring is close to the sun and too hot, while the other side is dark and freezing. Stay in the habitable zone, or adapt to the extremes!

EVOLVE & PROGRESS

Employ scholars to study the world and advance technology. Unlock new buildings or upgrade existing ones, reveal new resources or transform the ones you have. Can you fix the ring? Will you escape? Will you adapt? Or will you perhaps forage berries forever?

BEWARE OF THE REVOLUTION

As the population grows, and technology with it, ideas are born. Ideas become culture, and culture becomes the soul of the people. Will you embrace the ebb and flow of the public, or resist? Few leaders last long, none last forever.
