Roguelike city builder The King is Watching has a new demo, and I'm hooked

One of my favorite city building games of all time is Majesty, the self-titled 'fantasy kingdom sim' where you don't actually control your units, but instead take the seat of an all-seeing monarch that just handles all the town management elements. Fitting that concept into a snappy roguelite format is the upcoming small-scale strategy game The King is Watching, and it's just launched an updated demo on Steam. I had a chance to give the latest build a go ahead of its launch, and the loop already has me hooked.

The King Is Watching’s free demo turns city building into a brilliant balancing act of feudal surveillance

A watched pot never boils, so they say - ‘they’ presumably all being dead now after having their minds physically melted after hearing the first kettle click in readiness while stubbornly staring in the opposite direction. Yes, yes, it’s a metaphor, but we don’t have time for all that. Your kingdom is under attack by goblins, and the only way to get your useless underlings to chop the wood, till the fields, and train the guards needed to defend it is to provide constant surveillance. The King Is Watching is a minimalist resource-chain-em-up and wave defense goblin-knocker with a brilliant twist. I'm now a little bit obsessed with it, I think, and what is RPS if not a vehicle for chronicling my many fleeting obsessions?
