Worldwright is a rise-and-fall survival builder played across the ages. Raise a society from a single fire against the dark — then brace for the Upheaval that razes it, and carry only your Knowledge into the age that follows.
No inherited empires, no head starts. Each age opens with a few survivors and an empty map — everything still standing at the end is something you raised from the first fire.
Flint and firewood, bronze and grain, coal and steel, fuel and scrap — each era's scarcities rewrite what survival demands of you.
Every age ends in catastrophe — the long winter, the collapse, the fall. You can't prevent it. You can only build to endure it, and carry what you learned onward.
From the first fire to the world after the fall, Worldwright spans eight ages — each its own campaign, with its own palette, its own scarcities, and its own disaster to outlast. You start every one from almost nothing, on the ruins the last age left behind.

It begins with a single fire in an empty valley. Hunt, forage, and raise the first shelters while the days shorten — because the age ends in a long winter, and only the fed and the sheltered live to see the thaw.

Grain, clay, and the first worked metal. Sink wells, fire the kilns, and lean on trade with neighbours you'll never meet — until drought and a failing network bring the collapse, and only full granaries carry a people through.

Timber halls, stone keeps, and the faith that binds a crowded town. Density is your strength and your weakness both — pack people close without sanitation and the great pestilence takes what no wall can defend.

Coin, print, and art — a flowering of ideas as the town becomes a city of workshops and presses. But new thinking wakes old fear: the age turns on an inquisition, and the societies that endure are the ones that shelter their scholars.

Coal and steel, smoke and speed — the age of the machine. Raise the foundries that make you mighty, then answer for the air they foul and the labour they grind: this age chokes on its own smog and cracks along its own unrest.

The atomic age. Jet engines and room-sized mainframes, a television in every front room, two superpowers racing each other to the Moon — dizzy optimism strung tight over Cold War nerves. It's the last age before the world goes online, and the taller its towers climb and the tighter its systems wind, the harder the whole brilliant machine has to fall.

Now. Glass towers and glowing screens, everyone and everything wired into one restless network — the age you're living in. It runs on data and trust, and it inherits every debt the ages before ran up: the carbon, the heat, the hairline cracks. Keep the whole system talking long enough to change course — or watch it tip past the point of no return.

The world after the fall: scrap, fuel, and the scarcest resource of all — hope. Endure the waste and coax green back into dead ground. Make it through, and the land begins again. This is where every age you survived was leading.
