We made a game where you have to build settlements on a mountain!

The survival of your people depends on efficient production chains like harvesting wheat, processing it, and delivering to the food market!🌾

it costs $0.00 to support a small indie dev team ❄️

In Laysara, it’s easy to get distracted and neglect the kingdom treasury! 💰

We’ve added a second chance mechanic so that if run low on funds, the very stressed out Artisan will warn you to be careful with the emergency money!

Hit zero again? I’m afraid it’s game over 💸

I want to live in my own game… but maybe without the deadly avalanches 😅

Hi Bluesky 👋
Would you play this game?

We’ve added tunnels to make late game resource management easier 📦

Each tunnel allows you to send or extract resources through the underground to wherever you want on the mountain, no matter the distance!

To succeed in Laysara, you need to manage your resources, establish safe carrier routes to the summit, and build a temple for your people! 🏯

It's no easy feat... the high mountains can be quite perilous...

Have you conquered the mountain peak? 👀

Did you know many major rivers originate in the mountains?

In Laysara, these downhill streams can be quite valuable for important resources 🐟
