About the Game

Hear The Bell Toll is a roguelike city-building game focused on short satisfying runs.

1. Buy buildings from an Autochess style reroll-able shop

2. Place buildings on the grid strategically to maximize your profits

3. Manage Class Synergies, Status effects like Crime and Sickness, and use game-changing Banners to your advantage!

4. Collect Tribute in a multiplicative Population x Tax format to meet the requirements and proceed to the next year

Be careful, as there are Calamities that occur every 3 years, and you must survive 25 years to win!

Features in the full game:

- 50+ buildings across 10 classes to build your city and get synergies

- 100+ unique game-changing modifiers in the form of Banners

- Many Status Effects (like Crime and Sickness) and Calamities to manage

- Multiple Biomes and Ascension levels to challenge yourself

- Hand drawn art-style and custom soundtrack in a Victorian Gothic setting
