After escaping the planet with at least one colonist, the credits roll. After starting the ship, the player must defend it for fifteen days as other desperate inhabitants of the planet attempt to seize control of it. To end the game, the player must either research and construct a spaceship, or find a broken-down ship with the help of a friendly AI. Characters can be rescued after crash-landing on the player map, they can wander in, or they can be captured after a raid. As time goes on, more characters will join the colony. The characters have a randomly generated set of positive or negative traits which affect how they can contribute to or endanger the colony, the decisions they make, and how their existence affects the other characters. The player characters (referred to as 'pawns' in game documentation) are stranded on a procedurally generated planet located in the frontiers of known space (a 'rim world'). Rimworld has a small variety of starting scenarios to choose from, although the core narrative is the same. As a result, there is a massive range of technological levels of societies, from Neolithic tribes to reality-transcending machine gods. Planets and star systems develop in isolation from each other, and while some societies advance technologically, others regress due to war or disease. The game takes place in the distant future, where humans are spread across the universe but cannot travel faster than the speed of light. The game has received generally positive reviews from critics. Rather than a test of skill or a challenge, the game is intended to serve as an AI-powered 'story generator', where the game is used as the medium for players to experience narrative adventures. The game was released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as RimWorld Console Edition on July 29, 2022, with development and publishing being handled by Double Eleven. Originally called Eclipse Colony, it was initially released as a Kickstarter crowdfunding project in early access for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux in November 2013, and was released on October 17, 2018.

RimWorld is a construction and management simulation video game developed and published by Montreal-based developer Ludeon Studios.
