BUILD UPWARDS NOT OUTWARDS

In an alternate timeline where World War II left the Earth's surface in ruins, horizontal expansion is a death sentence. You are an Architect and your primary duty is to construct and maintain massive, self sufficient Towers. Every floor has strictly limited space, forcing you to make critical architectural tradeoffs between housing, food production, industrial zones, and life support systems.

ENFORCE GATE PROTOCOLS AND HANDLE CRISES

Word of your functioning Towers spreads fast through the wasteland, drawing massive crowds to your doorstep. Manage refugees on a macro level by establishing general entry rules, from complete lockdowns to quick or thorough inspections. Respond to unpredictable gate events such as riots, sudden disease outbreaks, or desperate pleas for help that test your governance.

MASTER VOLATILE VIRIBUS ENERGY

Power your civilization using Viribus - a mysterious and unstable resource that, while initially contributing to the end of the world, now holds the potential to help rebuild it, once brought under control. While Viribus unlocks game changing technologies and drives your Tower systems, over reliance on it carries immense operational risks that can jeopardize your entire population.

NAVIGATE THREE TIER DIPLOMACY

Survival requires more than isolation. Balance complex political relationships across three distinct fronts: keep up with rival Architects, negotiate or trade with neutral wasteland factions occupying key regions, and fulfill high stakes contracts for the Capitol departments to earn invaluable rewards.

EXPAND YOUR BASTION NETWORK

Venture into the endless storms to discover story driven locations and secure rare resources. Establish an interconnected network of specialized Towers, utilizing a dual layer Tech Tree to tailor individual bastions while advancing global faction technologies.
