KeyDom
A downloadable game for Windows
KeyDom is a cosy little idle city-builder designed to live quietly on your monitor while you go about your day. Every time you type, your tiny alien planet responds: brambles crumble, plots open up, and structures gently produce resources in the background.
Your world starts tangled in bramble. Clear the nine key-plots (Q W E / A S D / Z X C) with your keyboard, collect a starter stash of resources, and begin planting structures that generate Lumber, Water, and Solar with every keypress. Upgrade buildings to Level 2 to make your KeyDom thrive, and experiment with different build paths to fully develop your little town.
Known issue(s):
- Currently, the bramble is not giving the required resources to proceed, and we're working hard to fix this!
How to play:
-
Use these 9 keys: Q W E / A S D / Z X C (and your mouse).
Clear brambles: Press a plot’s key repeatedly to remove overgrowth and collect early resources.
-
Build structures: Use your resources to place Solar/Water/Lumber structures on cleared plots.
-
Generate resources by typing: Once built, structures produce resources every time you press keys.
-
Upgrade to Level 2: Upgrades increase how much a building produces per keypress.
-
Reclaim structures: You can reclaim built structures to reposition or change your strategy.

This is a really cool idea but the overlay camaflouges with most components on the screen and it doesn't seem I can get the upgrade/reclaim popup to appear again after first clicking the structure
thanks! the feedback really helps, and we will update it down the road :)
