I played the demo for Queen's Domain during my lunch break. It's absolutely gorgeous. If you are craving for a King's Field-like game, then this one should be at the top of your list.

Metal Garden <3
Screenshot of the game, showing some electricity towers on a field. Screenshot of the game, showing a creature similar to a plesiosaurus on a cliff by the sea. Screenshot of the game, showing the view from a dilapidated brutalist building. Screenshot of the game, showing a dome filled with elevated roads, light filtering through a hole on the ceiling.

please enjoy the very first (and very early) screenshot from our second game.

there's a lot of this world still left to build, but i can promise that none of it will ever involve gen-AI.
a screenshot from a game. the shot looks out over a cliff, with green grass and seed-heads in the foreground. it's dark, in the early hours of the morning. the cloudless sky is a greeny-blue with smudges of pink and purple purple. unknown constellations. on the ground below the cliff, a forest sprawls into the foggy distance. a low saddle-hill rises in the distance.
