How it feels

A text-heavy medieval political simulator where absurd dark comedy drives your power plays and marital schemes.

What players say

Players call it a short, comedic adventure game in the style of old-school Ultima but with no combat. It is more linear than the sandbox it appears, focused on solving puzzles to outspend a rival. Many enjoy the humor of marrying objects or executing a pile of poop, but some find the fun wears thin once the novelty fades.
