## About Norland

Norland is a medieval kingdom simulation combining colony sim, grand strategy, and city-building mechanics with a challenging strategic experience. The game features cultural-identity systems that shape distinct playstyles, religious-faction conflicts creating dynamic struggles, and scandal-driven politics where betrayals spawn emergent narratives. Resource-scarcity economy and duel-based expansion add tactical depth, while semi-autonomous lords drive all major decisions through their own agendas. Released in 2024 by Long Jaunt and published by Hooded Horse, it is available in Early Access for $29.99 USD and runs Playable on Steam Deck. Players describe the experience as atmospheric, contemplative, dark, and whimsical, with reviewers highlighting how duels enable surprisingly efficient expansion strategies. The title holds an 83% positive rating from 2,698 Steam reviews.
