Topical game of the day 👑 or perhaps this should be long live the king now.

Initial reaction: interesting concept, frustrating execution. A lot of minor UI tweaks would have made this a smoother experience.

Very interesting game; don't think I've played something quite like this before. I was trying to keep my mood perfectly balanced, which might not have been the best way to play. Next time, I'll push those levers into some extremes and see what happens.

I finally got Elodie to survive until her gosh darned coronation. Gonna try for the other endings/ events next, but who knew how crucial decoration skills are to survival? WHO KNEW??????

I had a feeling I was going to like this game but damn, talk about replayability! It's like Crusader Kings but instead of playing an all-knowing puppet master you're just a 14 year old girl who doesn't know what the hell is going on most of the time. I just finished my first playthrough and I died from poisoned chocolates. …

I had a feeling I was going to like this game but damn, talk about replayability! It's like Crusader Kings but instead of playing an all-knowing puppet master you're just a 14 year old girl who doesn't know what the hell is going on most of the time. I just finished my first playthrough and I died from poisoned chocolates. How often does that happen in a game?

Unexpectedly enjoyable and well-written. Life as a monarch is pretty terrible. I'm too willful for accounting! I'm too depressed to be elegant! I don't know a damn thing about owls!

Unexpectedly enjoyable and well-written. Life as a monarch is pretty terrible. I'm too willful for accounting! I'm too depressed to be elegant! I don't know a damn thing about owls!

My only real complaint about the game is it never tells you how many points you needed to pass a skill check. I died the same way multiple times because I didn't know how much of a skill I needed to survive a certain event. Eventually, your strategy changes to just picking a handful of categories to max out, and leaving the rest at zero.

That doesn't detract from the game too much, but it would be nice to be able to know if you can afford put some points in other categories and achieve some of the minor events off your main path, without having to resort to a guide.
