Monastery: Ora et Labora is a monastery management game that puts you in the role of an abbot tasked with guiding a monastic community through the trials and triumphs of medieval life.

Lead your monks in prayer and labor to build a thriving medieval monastery. Manage resources, brew ale, craft manuscripts, and face trials like war and weather. Customize, expand, and guide your brotherhood to achieve spiritual and economic prosperity.

As the newly appointed abbot, your journey begins in a peaceful medieval monastery, where you’ll guide your monks through the sacred rule of "Ora et Labora"—pray and work. Oversee their daily lives as they perform divine offices, brew the finest ales, and illuminate intricate manuscripts, all while carefully managing the monastery's resources. Face the trials of medieval life, from harsh weather to the looming threat of war, and make critical decisions to safeguard your community's future. Customize and expand your monastery, meet the needs of your growing brotherhood, and become a beacon of hope in a world seeking guidance.

Your legacy awaits—will you rise to the challenge?
