Step into the role of the Royal Planner in File Under Kingdom, a unique simulation and strategy game where your decisions directly impact the fate of the realm. As the newly appointed planner, your primary objective is to ensure the kingdom's prosperity by strategically placing various buildings and managing land resources.

Each structure you erect will generate specific resources, influenced by its surroundings – be it natural landscapes or existing constructions.

The core gameplay revolves around clever resource management and spatial planning. You'll need to combine different buildings to maximize their output and make the most of the available space.

Funds are limited, and missteps can lead to selling developed land just to acquire more, adding a layer of challenging economic simulation.

As you progress and meet the kingdom's needs, you'll gain access to transcripts of Council Meetings. These provide crucial insights into how your focus on certain resources over others has shaped events, potentially forcing the king down unforeseen paths.

The game features a variety of buildings to deploy and a somewhat randomly generated landmass to develop, ensuring each playthrough offers fresh challenges.
