Don’t blink! Embody an ever-watchful king, and defend His Majesty’s people from doom
SEATTLE, WA – July 21, 2025 – The King is Watching, the roguelite kingdom builder from developer Hypnohead and publisher tinyBuild with more than 200k wishlists, 300k demo downloads, and a 96% rating on Steam, motivates lazy peasants to overcome invading armies today on PC via Steam.
Step into the shoes of a “motivational monarch” and witness as the realm praises his benevolence. Gaze upon the regions of a kingdom full of lazy peons to let them know it’s time to work. Stare at wheat fields and watch peasants harvest, but avert the royal gaze, and they’ll drop everything to avoid work. Stay vigilant on the castle to maintain production chains while invading armies attempt to divert attention.
Conquer challenges to unlock a total of seven monarchs, each with a distinct set of abilities. King Leo the Wise, a master architect, rewards servants with building blueprints. King Spellus, a wizard king through and through, passively generates crystals to refuel arcane power and conjures spells. King Alucard, on the other hand, can resurrect fallen soldiers to take on the battlefield as undead warriors.
Face a new villainous boss on each run, from dragons and necromancers to goblin warlords trying to overtake your settlement, each with a different attack plan and skillset. Adapt thy plans to accommodate for new spells, artifacts, and random blueprints, forging multiple paths ahead that ensure no run will be the same. For those looking for an extra challenge, try out the Threat Levels, where enemies gain new powers, demanding new royal strategies and split-second ruling.
“We’ve had amazing support from fans and the community throughout this journey, and we’re beyond thrilled to share The King is Watching with the world,” said Semyon Itmaniuk, Head of the Hypnohead Studio. “Embrace the monarchy, and craft a kingdom from the ground up into the most fearsome of them all. Huzzah!”
The King is Watching launches today on PC via Steam, with support for the following languages: English, Simplified Chinese, German, Russian, and Spanish (EU). Support for Japanese, Korean, French, Brazilian Portuguese, and Polish will be added soon after launch.
tinyBuild started as an indie game developer and morphed into a developer-publisher you can’t miss.

Assemble an Army of Ants, Oddballs, and Outlandish Allies — Just Don’t Get Too Attached
London, UK – July 21, 2025 – Hungarian indie developers Save Sloth Studios and Bristol-based indie publisher Yogscast Games today announced that The Royal Writ, a hilariously ruthless lane-based deckbuilder, will release on PC via Steam Store on Thursday, August 7. Set in the medieval realm of Aranfold, the game begins with King Mikolt the Second — beloved by most, feared by some, and ignored by many — issuing a royal decree to the Bandit Leader who’s been looting the kingdom. When diplomacy (read: a very stern letter) fails, the King unleashes his loyal legion of lizards, bugs, bats, and other barely qualified fighters to restore order through the time-honoured tradition of turn-based violence.
The Royal Writ combines picture-book visuals, delightful humour, and frequent fatalities in a deckbuilding strategy game where permadeath is real, and favourite characters will probably die. The goal? Knock the enemy’s health to zero before reaching their base, with players competing across ever-changing battle layouts of one to three rows, delivering damage through power and multiplication modifiers.
Players must build the perfect squad of cannon-fodder and clutch-carrying creatures, balancing strategy and a slight disregard for their troops’ feelings. With a deck limit and permanent death looming, fighters can be upgraded between battles through various events, from horse racing to a trip to the dentist, earning relics and gear, which can help dodge hazards like anthills, spike pits, creeks, and mushroom fields.
“The Royal Writ rips up the rulebook and offers a unique lane-based deckbuilder where sentiment and loyalty go out the window in the pursuit of victory,” said Simon Byron, Managing Director, Yogscast Games. “As the self-proclaimed home of the roguelike deckbuilder, we’re excited to see our community build weird armies, watch them die, mourn them briefly, then throw their replacements into battle five minutes later.”
Players will bond with their army and betray them for loot when they’ve served their purpose. From ants that gain strength when partnered with other ants, to charismatic killers like The Tax Collector (a vampire bat that bites both wallets and necks), or Gereb (a drunk frog that gets stronger the closer it is to death), each card has personality and purpose. With no one way to triumph, The Royal Writ invites players to experiment to unlock perfect synergies and, with several Hardship and Challenge options, feel the urge to return to the game for yet one more run.

Rule-breaking, memory-making, and hall-skipping mayhem in a nostalgic open-world coming-of-age adventure.
[July 21st, 2025] – Refugium Games is thrilled to announce Agefield High: Rock the School, a heartfelt open-world adventure that captures the chaos and charm of teenage life at the turn of the millennium. In development for PC and consoles, this single-player, story-driven game puts you in the shoes of a senior navigating a new school, big decisions, and one last chance to leave a legacy. With its saturated colors, satirical edge, and soundtrack soaked in early 2000s pop-punk, the game delivers a nostalgic ride through high school like you’ve never played before.
In Agefield High: Rock the School, you play as Sam Tatum, an 18-year-old on the edge of graduation — until your parents uproot your life and drop you into the sleepy small town of Agefield. With just a few months until summer break, you’re thrown into a new school and a new reality. But this isn’t just about surviving senior year — it’s about making it unforgettable. From satirical school assemblies to late-night prank wars and bike rides through suburban sprawl, every moment taps into the chaos, comedy, and rebellious energy of early 2000s teen life.
Skip classes or sit through them. Sneak into tattoo parlors, mow lawns for cash, prank call your crush, and hustle to build your rep. Explore a fully simulated campus and a small-town open world dripping with nostalgia — from dusty corner stores and cluttered arcades to garage band rehearsals and hallway showdowns. Whether you’re ditching detention or chasing high school glory, every decision shapes how your legend will be remembered when the yearbook closes.
Key Features:
Cinematic Gameplay: Follow a branching narrative through a series of missions with different endings.
A Fully Simulated School System: Attend (or skip) five different class types, including English, Math, Geography, Music, and German.
Explore a Small-Town Sandbox: From bike shops to tattoo parlors, the world of Agefield is filled with places to discover and decisions to make.
Side Hustles and Mini-Games: Complete a variety of side missions and activities like prank calling and lawn mowing to earn cash and unlock items.
Customize Your Look: Buy clothes, accessories, bikes, hairstyles, and more to express your style and stand out in the halls.
Authentic Early 2000s Vibes: A pop-punk soundtrack, springtime setting, and vibrant color palette create an atmosphere that’s as loud and rebellious as your teen years.
Currently in development, Agefield High: Rock the School is scheduled to release for PC via Steam, with console versions planned for a later date.
