About This Game

YOUR KINGDOM GROWS WHILE YOU WORK

Task Bar Throne is a cozy idle kingdom that sits right above your Windows taskbar. Your villagers sow the fields, cut timber, fish the bay and haul goods to market on their own. Glance down, give an order, get back to work.

FROM A CROOKED HUT TO A ROYAL HALL

You wake up in a stranger world under two moons, with nothing but a dead phone and what you know. Help a struggling village, take the key to a creaky wooden "castle" and build it into a seat of power — stone by stone, harvest by harvest.

A COURT WITH A WILL OF ITS OWN

Your companions are not menus. Each has their own hopes, opinions of you and storylines — friendship, rivalry, romance and plotting. Choose who walks beside you, listen, argue, flirt, or keep it strictly business.

CHOICES THAT STICK

Events grow out of the state of your kingdom, not from a timer. Empty granaries, an ambitious general, a treasurer with sticky fingers — running short is never a dead end, it is a harder road with a price. Crises wait for you: nothing bad happens while you are away.
