The King Is Watching, an upcoming roguelite kingdom builder, was showcased during the Convergence event. Developed by Hypnohead and published by tinyBuild, the game is set to release on PC via Steam in 2025.
In this strategic game, players must manage a kingdom by placing buildings, planting and harvesting crops, and gathering essential resources to strengthen the realm. The game features dynamic gameplay where each run is different, forcing players to adapt their strategies as they defend the kingdom against waves of enemy assaults.
Players can also recruit mage guilds to protect the castle with magical defenses and trade knowledge for valuable supplies. However, the key to success lies in maintaining a watchful eye over the kingdom’s workers. The King must ensure that production flows smoothly by overseeing various facilities, ensuring no one slacks off.
The trailer revealed during the showcase highlights the consequences of the King becoming distracted and losing focus. Keeping order and a strong hold on the kingdom is essential to surviving the constant threats.
