You don't move the pieces in Civ Builder — you set the rules and let an artificial intelligence run a society inside them. Choose one of five governing archetypes — the intelligence that shapes how your citizens reason about each other, their work, and their laws. Write the legal code: decide what's forbidden and how strictly it's enforced. Then begin, and watch ten autonomous agents live their lives in a real-time event feed. They work and eat. They vote. They trade and innovate. They commit crimes — and face the punishments you wrote. Out of thousands of small decisions, a civilization takes shape: it can flourish into a stable, inventive society, or fracture and collapse under its own laws. Nothing is scripted. Every run unfolds differently. GOVERN, DON'T MICROMANAGE - Pick the AI archetype that governs your people's reasoning. - Author a living legal code and rewrite it mid-run to steer the outcome. - Intervene on the fly — inject events and change the law as a crisis unfolds. A SOCIETY THAT RUNS ITSELF - Ten autonomous agents make their own choices about work, food, voting, trade, and crime. - Emergent outcomes: no fixed win condition, no two runs alike. - A live event feed narrates everything as it happens. BUILT TO RESPECT YOU - 100% offline — the entire simulation runs on your device. - No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. We collect zero data. - Saved runs live on your device and never leave it. Set the laws. Choose the mind that enforces them. Then find out what kind of civilization you've created.

Wind's Passage

Read full description

ā–  Read the wind. Draw the route. Own the sea. Wind's Passage is a pixel-art sailing simulation set on the oceans of the 16th century. It starts with one rule — buy low, sell high — and grows into a fleet, a war with pirates, and a map of waters nobody has charted yet. ā–  Ninety ports, one continuous sea From Lisbon to Nagasaki, ninety ports sit on a single world map. Sail up the Nile, the Tigris, the Indus, the Yellow River or the Amazon to reach inland cities; slip through a narrow strait to enter the Black Sea. The shortcuts are not marked. ā–  Prices move with the world 36 trade goods plus 32 port specialities. Ports in the same region drift together, so reading one market tells you something about its neighbours. Buy in bulk and you will move the price yourself. ā–  Six captains, six routes Merchant, adventurer, soldier, privateer, surveyor, treasure hunter. Different home port, different strengths, different ending. ā–  Hex tactical combat With the wind behind you, you move further. Point your bow at the enemy and your guns will not bear. Choose whether to hole the hull, shred the sails, or rake the deck; close the distance for boarding or a one-on-one duel. Get lucky and you take the ship instead of sinking it. ā–  Also Ā· 7 ship classes Ā· Navigation, combat and trade levels up to 50 Ā· Storms, dead calms, pirates — every day drains water, food and morale Ā· 30 discoveries hidden across the ocean
