Overlord

A sorcerer comes home to a castle gone to ruin, and decides the neighbors are going to pay for the upkeep. That's the whole pitch: reclaim the grounds, then bend everyone in reach to your will.

Between raids you're out combing the surrounding land, dragging villagers back to be captured and corrupted, and poking around crypts and caves that clearly weren't built with visitors in mind. Nights work differently: the castle gets attacked, and whatever you've built or fortified during the day is what keeps it standing. The art is AI-generated throughout, which gives the world and its cast a consistent, slightly uncanny look rather than a hand-drawn one.
