Norland is an upcoming medieval colony simulation game set for release on July 18, 2024, developed by Long Jaunt and published by Hooded Horse. Following the fall of a vast Empire, players must navigate a fractured world with competing successor kingdoms, managing their noble family amidst political intrigue, threats of war, and peasant discontent.
In Norland, players engage in strategic building and management through their family’s leadership, utilizing each member’s unique skills and ambitions to thrive. The game emphasizes relationship dynamics, where betrayal and alliances shape outcomes, and involves the training and education of future generations to safeguard knowledge and power.
Players influence their kingdom by directing peasants, who possess their own needs and grievances, requiring careful management to prevent rebellion. With distinct cultural backgrounds and priorities, the populace must be kept satisfied through fair wages and resources, while dealing with external pressures like invasion and trade negotiations.
As players embark on quests of diplomacy or warfare, they face challenges from rival kingdoms and internal dissent. Every decision can lead to unexpected consequences, allowing for a unique storytelling experience shaped by players’ choices and actions in a richly crafted world.
