A text-driven narrative where you navigate courtly scheming and romance through careful choices, relying on imagination rather than visuals or sound.

What players say

Players agree the writing is strong and the political intrigue is engaging, but many are frustrated that only romancing the monarch lets you see the full story. Choosing other love interests ends the game after the first act, and players who hoped for genuine romance find it sidelined in favor of power plays.
