The King is Watching is a roguelite strategy and kingdom-management game developed by Hypnohead and published by tinyBuild.
The game puts you in the role of a king responsible for building and defending a growing kingdom. Its unique central mechanic is based on the king's field of vision: only the parts of the kingdom that the king can see are actively producing resources and functioning.
This creates a strategic challenge where you must carefully position your king's attention and decide which parts of your kingdom should remain active at any given time.
You'll gather resources, build and upgrade structures, recruit troops, research technologies, and prepare your defenses against enemy attacks. Each run can develop differently thanks to roguelite progression and randomized challenges.
