Monastery: Ora et Labora

I truly adore this game, it’s very calming and relaxing, I’d also call it cozy. When I was in my early 20’s I stayed in a Benedictine Monastery for a retreat where I joined the monks in their daily routines, it was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life and this game in a way brings me back to that wonderful experience. I’ve already spent nearly 30 hours playing this, and it’s only early access and the developer has promised so much more, the potential in this game is huge, And I simply can’t wait. So thankyou Dragonkin Studios for giving us this beautiful experience, and I look forward to seeing what else you bring us

Solid base, done with taste. Now they need to build upon such foundation along the published routemap and much more.

This is a charming and relaxing game. Like me (and the monks) you might find yourself becoming contemplative as you play.

Played the demo. Bought the EA game. A very relaxing experience. So different from others of this genre (city builder, production chains). I enjoy the music (chanting) and the pace of the game. It won't be for everyone, but it's only been in EA since Sep 24/26 so looking forward to what might be next.

I absolutely love this game, as a Catholic it is amazing. Keep it coming.

I love ancient temples and monasteries because I want a home just like them: self-sufficient, comfy, and humanitarian. This game hits the spot. I love other management games, especially Egyptian and Mesopotamian ones, but this game lets me just focus on the ins and outs of the religious sanctuary. Just what I've been looking for. For early access, it's awesome and ate up so much of time the week it came out. There is plenty more content it needs, but that's covered in the roadmap. I can't wait for the new features to come out.
