Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The core of the game is there but we want to shape the rest alongside the community. The game is fully playable, but there’s plenty of room to grow: new maps, more events, depth, better pacing, and quality-of-life improvements.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect to stay in Early Access for the rest of 2025 while we continue to build out new content, improve balance, and gather feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to include more maps, events, and potentially new mechanics tied to empire management. We also hope to polish UI, improve pacing, and expand advisor depth based on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable with all core systems in place. You can manage an empire, face random events, unlock advisors, and play through five historical maps.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will most likely not change as more content and features are added.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback is at the core of how we plan to improve the game. We’ll be listening closely to suggestions, bug reports, and discussions.”

About This Game

In Dying Reign, you are the last force stopping your empire's collapse. Govern through chaos, adapt to evolving threats, and hold your people together as history’s deadliest pandemics unfold.

Manage Your Empire

Keep your empire from collapsing by balancing your empire's stats. Every decision affects your empire differently, and managing these interconnected systems is the key to survival.

Stability
Morale
Spread Rate
Power
Regional Allegiance

Dynamic Events

Face over a dozen events: an economic boom, banditry, cultural revivals, scandals, natural disasters, and more. Every event shifts the balance of power, morale, economy, and stability. These aren’t just random, they react to your empire’s current state and force you to adapt.

Maps Across Time

Lead empires through five distinct eras of crisis:

Athens, 429 BCE
Byzantine Empire, 529
Holy Roman Empire, 1347
Roman Empire, 248
Qing Dynasty, 1854

9 Unlockable Advisors

Unlock key figures to help you govern. Advisors stay hidden until earned through gameplay, and each one adds unique benefits.

Royal Alchemist
Diplomat
Trade Minister
General
Defense Consultant
Theologian
Spymaster
Treasurer

Custom Maps

Includes full Steam Workshop integration. Publish or download custom maps with ease or import maps directly from your local files.

History remembers emperors… but plagues remember no one.
