Publisher tinyBuild and independent developer Hypnohead Studio has announced that a brand new demo for their royal roguelite, The King is Watching, will release on the Friday before Steam Next Fest and will be available throughout the event. The demo is filled with royal enhancements including a new tutorial, building upgrades, Endless Mode, and unique encounters.
Get ready to rule the kingdom with the power of the king’s gaze. The peasants and workers have grown lazy and will only work when the watchful eye of the king is on them. Decide between producing resources, training armies, or balancing both while strategically establishing a powerful kingdom.
Upgrade buildings to quickly gather resources. Utilize upgrades to ensure strong castle defenses. Use building upgrades to maintain control over the kingdom and execute strategies.
Go from an amateur prince to a steadfast king with the new tutorial system. Master the art of reigning supreme with the new onboarding system designed to help new players.
Test out those endurance skills in the new Endless Mode. Defend against unlimited waves of enemy assaults.
Be ready for unpredictable enemy encounters that will challenge the castle’s army. Partake in events, make bold choices, and reap the rewards. Adapt to challenges and events that make each playthrough different.
