Turn resources into progress
Collect SoulStones from your mines and decide what to upgrade next. Balance resource production with recruitment to prepare for your next expedition.
Explore beyond your island
Send troops to temporary event islands for resources and territory. These islands are contested and disappear when their time runs out, so plan your expedition and your return.
Build alongside other players
Join a team and explore the persistent world of Ove. For a separate competitive challenge, try Dominion: short elimination rounds with a different pace and a fresh start.
A persistent world, built around your home island
Rise in Time combines island building, resource management and multiplayer strategy. In Ove, your protected home island is the centre of your progress. Build up production, recruit different units and choose when to send them beyond your base.
From your first mine to your next expedition
- Develop your home: collect resources and upgrade buildings to support your plans.
- Prepare an army: recruit troops and learn their strengths before choosing a target.
- Explore event islands: conquer fields and gather resources while watching the island’s remaining lifetime.

Before you start building
Does my island reset after a match?
Your Ove home island is persistent: it is not reset at the end of a Dominion round. Event islands are different — they are temporary places to explore and contest, rather than permanent additions to your home.
Is this an idle game or a strategy game?
It is a strategy game with production over time. Your mines accumulate resources while you are away, but you choose upgrades, collect resources and command attacks. Expeditions and contested islands need attention; the game does not play every decision for you.
Can other players attack my home?
Your home island is protected. Competition takes place beyond it on event islands, where your troops and territory can be at risk.
Do I need to download anything?
You can play in your web browser without installing a game client. Mobile apps are also available. Use the Play Now link to enter the game and set up your account.
Do I have to play Dominion?
Ove is the persistent island-building experience. Dominion is a separate competitive mode with temporary rounds; it is not the structure of your home-island progression.
