Clockwork Brood A Disa Games game
A jagged cyan-edged tear in a rock wall, ruined grey blocks scattered around it, two ant scouts in the foreground among prehistoric ferns.

In development

Mech-builder × auto-battler roguelite

A steampunk kingdom of insects builds giant machines in its own image — the People’s Engines — to hold back a Rift that pours Monsters into their world.

You are the Chief Engineer. Assemble your Engine from parts your colony crafts, program how it fights, then watch it hold the line.

The game

A machine you design, a fight you watch.

  • Build, then think

    A small set of parts, modules and synergies that multiply into a deep design space. The fun is finding the clever build.

  • Program, then watch

    Combat resolves on its own. You decide around the fight, not inside it: what the Engine carries, and how it reacts.

  • Your pace

    Premium and offline. No real-time timers, no daily chores, no online requirement.

Concept art

The world so far

  • Flat cutaway of an underground ant capital: a laboratory, a drafting room with machine blueprints, a records room, and a hangar where tiny ants work on a giant rust-orange beetle machine held in timber scaffolding, a cyan cable feeding it from the ceiling.
    The capital: laboratory, drafting room, the Mark records, and the hangar.
  • Side view of a giant rhinoceros-beetle machine rearing up: a domed wing-case shell, insect legs braced wide, a horned head with one red eye and two oversized fists, matte rust-orange plates with cyan energy lines in the seams.
    Mark I, the first People’s Engine.
  • Side view of a front line in a cave: a stone dock with charging posts, a cyan basin and a parts rack at the left by the entrance; a beetle-shaped Engine on a lane of stone markers; faceless grey blobs and a huge seamless grey monster boss pouring cyan from a crack at the right; ant tunnels underneath.
    The front line: the dock and its energy basin on the left, the Engine on the lane, the Hollow Queen at the Rift on the right.
  • A hulking grey seamless creature with cyan light leaking through cracks in its body.
    A Monster. Seamless stone-grey bodies, with Rift light leaking through the cracks.
