Only distributed for macOS 11 or newer, the packaged build must have its quarantine flag cleared manually if not installed via Homebrew.
World at Ruin is an online multiplayer role playing game that its creators say is built almost entirely by AI agents, with every part of the game, including scenes, world generation, materials, and characters, written as code and built automatically in the cloud rather than assembled by hand in an editor. The setting is a far future world recovering from a mystical disaster, where the player wakes in a cave with nothing but bare hands, escapes to the surface, and finds a mix of medieval and futuristic elements living side by side, such as iron swords next to laser blades. The game is currently in an early pre alpha stage called Ashfall Reach. A player can shape their character's body, face, equipment, and skin, then explore a randomly generated ruin area containing a shrine, a small settlement, and wandering characters. There is no combat and no online multiplayer networking yet. Progress is tracked publicly through an in game changelog opened with a key press, and through a public roadmap of planned features. Right now the game only runs on macOS, on a single build that covers both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and it requires macOS 11 or newer. Windows and Linux versions are not available yet. The easiest way to install it is through Homebrew, which also makes future updates a single command. A player can also download the packaged app directly from the project's releases page, or build and run the game from source code using the Godot game engine, version 4.7 or newer. The project describes itself as source available rather than open source: anyone can read the code, but copying or redistributing it is not allowed under its license, playing a released build is governed by a separate end user agreement, and contributing code requires signing a contributor agreement that assigns copyright. A core design rule stated in the README is that characters are never reset or wiped, so an early player's progress keeps carrying forward as the game changes over time.
