How it feels

A low-stakes strategy and deduction RPG where you guide a prince's rebellion through turn-based battles and courtroom-style clue gathering, all via simple choices.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a low-effort RPG Maker asset flip with no manual movement and AI art, while others praise it as a free, tightly-written prince-revenge story with surprising plot twists and simplified Ace Attorney-style deduction. Many say it is a visual novel in pixel form, and note the developer announced a remake to address criticism.
