Full Release Planned for 2021 on PC & Mac

 Developer Maccima Games and publisher Squeaky Wheel Studio announce evil overlord simulator Ruinarch will launch August 25th on Steam in Early Access!

Ruinarch is an evil overlord simulator with a focus on story generation. Take control of the narrative by creating obstacles and causing conflicts as you invade procedurally-generated fantasy worlds! A simulation sandbox game inspired by story generator games like Rimworld and Dwarf Fortress, weaving tales of both anguish and humor is central to the gameplay.

Ruinarch gives you all the infernal tools you’ll need to toy with people’s lives and relationships. There are many ways to be evil: choose from three overlord Archetypes – each one provides you with a different playstyle. Do you want to focus on sheer destruction or are you into a more subtle puppetmaster approach? You can further customize from there by adding optional abilities to suit your own preferences.

Key Features

  • Run wild with destructive spells.
  • Afflict villagers with flaws.
  • Breed and spawn monsters.
  • Spread malicious info.
  • Activate artifacts.
  • Summon lesser demons.
  • Brainwash folks into becoming cultists.
  • Torture people.
  • Start a zombie apocalypse.
  • Start an epidemic. (Probably too soon; but, yes you can.)

Ruinarch will debut at a $19.99 price point on PC and Mac platforms, with a full release currently planned for 2021.

Why Early Access?
Ruinarch is a highly experimental game with emergent storytelling and gameplay at its core. As a small indie team, we have a lot of ambitious ideas but we need the help of the community to test them out and provide feedback and critique to guide our development in the right direction. While we have a clear road map for the upcoming year, we are also very open to adjusting and pivoting based on what the community really wants.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?
The current game includes a random world generator that produces procedurally-generated maps with multiple factions and regions that interact to produce emergent ever-changing worlds. The player will have access to seven different demon-type minions, eight demonic structures, dozens of Spells, along with a handful of Summons and Artifacts.

Hearthstone Grandmasters returns for Season 2 on August 14!
