Meet and hire commanders and specialists that unlock new building options, units and stories.
Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles requires a novel approach to building, something that isn’t about clicking over a screen but focusing on the world itself. In this sense, the game is one of experimental gameplay and controls, supported by a world and settlement that comes alive before your eyes.

The song is the lead track from Arcade Paradise. A Game where the protagonist Ashley feels held back, suffocated, and mentally downtrodden. Arcade Paradise is a story that resonates closely with the message of Safe In Our World. It is an inspirational message of what can be achieved, with help or just with the right motivation… how you CAN rise up against the machine, and how you CAN make your life great.
This is where you come in. We need YOU, the Wired Community to make some noise, Kick down the doors and scream that talking about Mental Health is GOOD!
How can YOU do this? There are lots of ways:
- Buy the single on Bandcamp. (Same price as a meal deal) - Stream the song for the next week. Let's see if we can hit the charts. Bring on Top of the Pops. - Share posts, blogs and playlists. The more we share. The more we can diminish the stigma around Mental Health - Talk to someone and listen. a Simple "How's it going?" can make the world of difference. - Make sure to tag us in every post, tweet and video. The more we share, the better.
Watch the Official Music Video below
