The Knight's Dilemma

When the king is incompetent you face a dilemma: will you try to change his ways or join the rebellion?

Made for the SuNoFes 2022 jam.

Dahlia Wintone has been a knight of the Kingdom of Thorntone for several years. During her service, she became not only Queen Linda's trusted protector but a close confidant as well. But now, Linda has passed away and her son Elton has taken the throne. Dahlia swears her loyalty to him, but after only a week the new monarch begins to show his incompetence. In light of Elton’s bad reign Dahlia faces a dilemma: should she try to change the king’s ways or give up on him and join the rebellion?

Features:

• An important choice. You are faced with a crucial choice which branches into either helping Elton mend his ways or joining the rebellion leader Hale to save Thorntone from suffering under a bad ruler.
• Romance or friendship? You don’t want to romance Elton or Hale? You can still be friends with them! The two routes include romantic options as well as friendship paths. 
• 22k words of political intrigue. It’s fantasy, but no dragon slaying in this one.
• Fully voiced script. Eight voice actors have banded together to breathe life into the characters.
• Two beautifully illustrated CGs. 5 gorgeous backgrounds. As well as 3 expressive sprites, and silhouettes for the rest of the characters. The game was made in under two months for a jam, but we still worked to bring you the best visual experience.
