Rise of the Settlement

Rise of the Settlement is a hand-crafted medieval production and settlement management game where every resource matters, and every decision shapes your community’s future.

Begin with just a few settlers and the barest survival tools. Forage for food, gather branches and reeds, and struggle to survive your first winter. Over time, unlock new technologies that allow your village to grow from makeshift huts into a thriving medieval settlement—with farms, quarries, drying huts, and vineyards humming with activity.

Carefully manage your people’s skills, assign them to tasks they excel at, and watch them gain experience as they work. Prioritize food, refine raw materials, and build out production chains to create advanced goods from humble beginnings.

Each building in Operaria is more than a static structure—it can be enhanced, upgraded, or temporarily boosted with clever planning. Use technology to improve efficiency, unlock new production recipes, or expand your territory.

With a beautiful parchment-inspired UI and lovingly illustrated building and resource artwork, Operaria invites you to build a story of growth, discovery, and medieval industry.
