Worlds Upon The Wind

Worlds Upon The Wind is a peaceful roguelite deckbuilder about rebuilding civilization after an apocalypse. You guide settlers across drifting world shards, restore forests, deserts and ruins, and establish communities without relying on conflict. Your choices shape each expedition and the future of your settlements.

Shape your deck

Build a deck from hundreds of Glyphs and unique Relics. Craft and balance Glyphs to create different builds, transform the environment and influence your chances with powerful invocations. Expeditions can grant new Glyphs and Relics, while the skills you unlock through each run carry into future runs.

Make difficult choices

Across hundreds of dilemmas, you decide how your communities develop, with no single right answer. You might keep wildlife away or invite it into your cities, preserve violent artwork or destroy it, or weigh dangerous alchemical experiments against safety and harmony against productivity. Choices affect the outcome of expeditions and the contents of your deck.

Explore the world shards

Procedurally generated shards contain different biomes, events, challenges and opportunities. Every run offers new situations and insights, and each community you establish leaves a mark on the world. You can also pacify restless spirits and befriend 15 unique animal companions through their own questlines; each companion provides a game-changing ability for future runs.

Art and Japanese learning

The visual style draws on the evolution of Japanese art, from ancient picture scrolls to different forms of Japanese woodblock prints. Hand-painted scenes, serene landscapes and gentle music accompany your planning.

Optional kanji-learning minigames include thousands of vocabulary items and example sentences. You can also display titles in kanji or kana and use dictionary tooltips.
