King in the Mountain

King in the Mountain puts players in the shoes of a fallen king rebuilding his lost kingdom beneath a mountain. In practice, you must: plan expeditions, guide your dwarves underground, mine gold, gems and artifacts, then climb back up before the torch goes out. Simple on paper, but tense in execution.

Between descents, the Mountain Hall grows. New dwarves recruited, upgraded tools, rebuilt rooms - each return to the surface sets up a more profitable expedition than the last. It's the classic incremental game loop, but carried by a narrative progression and a deliberately measured atmosphere.

Developed solo by Milo Panta (already behind Lootbane), the game is aimed at fans of light management and idle games with a bit more strategic bite. A proposition reminiscent of the spirit of dwarven city builders, but in a much more accessible and contemplative format. King in the Mountain will be available on PC via Steam.
