Reshape the Civilization in Worlds Upon The Wind
Worlds Upon The Wind has opened a limited-time open playtest on Steam, giving players an early chance to experience its calm and thoughtful gameplay. The playtest arrives alongside the game’s inclusion in the Best Indie Games Spring Showcase, introducing players to a roguelite deckbuilder inspired by traditional Japanese art and aesthetics.
Set in a shattered world, Worlds Upon The Wind focuses on restoration rather than conflict. Players take on the task of rebuilding civilization after a devastating collapse. By shaping forests, deserts, and ancient ruins, they slowly bring life back to forgotten lands. Careful planning, smart use of resources, and patient decision-making play a central role in progress.
The game places players in charge of guiding settlers across drifting fragments of the world. As these communities grow, players help nurture new traditions and create stable homes in places once left in ruin. Each decision shapes the future of the settlement, making every playthrough a thoughtful journey of rebuilding and renewal.
Deckbuilding is a major part of the experience, with hundreds of powerful Glyphs and unique Relics available to strengthen strategies and adapt to different situations. Along the way, players will face hundreds of narrative dilemmas that rarely offer simple answers. This encourages careful reflection before choosing a path. Players can also calm restless spirits haunting the world and form bonds with 15 different animal companions.
With its serene classical Japanese art style and calming music, Worlds Upon The Wind offers a relaxing yet strategic experience centered on patience, balance, and rebuilding a broken world.
