Description
About This Game
You are the king’s new favorite.
In a court filled with whispers, desire, and transactions of power, being noticed does not mean being protected, and being cherished never means being safe.
This is a narrative-driven management strategy game set in a fictional medieval kingdom. On a week-by-week basis, you will plan your actions and constantly weigh courtly relationships, personal survival, and hidden desire: earn the king’s favor, cultivate your reputation, keep suspicion low, gather resources, and gradually shape your own fate.
Plan Each Week
Assign actions across all seven days of the week, balancing rest, socializing, study, scheming, and critical interactions. Every choice affects future events, resource changes, and your character’s condition.
Balance Favor and Danger
The court does not become kinder simply because you are loved. You must hold your place amid favor, rumor, suspicion, and struggles for power. One wrong decision can send everything spiraling out of control.
Wield a Costly Power
You possess an unusual power capable of swaying hearts and minds. It can help you seize the advantage, but it will also change you little by little. Every time you rely on it, you move further down a different path.
Shape Your Fate Through Events and Major Schemes
Through weekly choices, pivotal events, and long-term planning, you will gradually build momentum and unlock different outcomes. You may proceed with caution or try to manipulate the situation more directly, but every path demands a price.
A Dense, Intimate Court Experience
With a tighter structure and concentrated pacing, the game presents courtly desire, dangerous relationships, and choices of fate through a blend of management, narrative, and multiple endings, delivering a focused and immersive experience.
