Paper Shakespeare: To Date or Not To Date? 2
King Alexander XI is dead, and without heir.
Your parents want you to be that heir. Luckily for you, there’s totally an ancient tradition for electing a new ruler in times like these: simply lock eight children of royal blood (or the closest thing) in Castle Elsinore, complete with the ghosts of past rulers, and let them manipulate the living heck out of each other and the local population! Two shall rise above the rest: King and Queen (or Queen/Queen, King/King, King/Nobody, Queen/Nobody)! Everyone else that is still alive gets to go home! It’s a win-win for everyone (except those that died)!

Interact with eight different potential royal candidates! Sabotage or help them!

Decide what skills you want to learn as a potential ruler!

Part strategy, part dating sim, all royal bloodbath! This is more a dating sim than an election sim, though.
-
A variety of paths to go down, depending on what you do in the game! Who do you romance? Who do you backstab? Who do you romance and then backstab?

Invading armies? Political debates? It’s all in here!

(Note: I am unable to get the “Pyrokinetic Lovers” achievement… I tried three times… I swear I got the “Perfect Ending” - It told me so. : Every other achievement I obtained - worked just fine. :D)
I kept looking at this game, as something about it was drawing me in. Then I had to read it! I was… Super glad I did. This game is… Hilarious… Has really great artwork… The scenes are beautiful and romances… GOOD. No one was annoying! Everything was just right!
And! There are pretty good choices, which let you pick if you are “nice”, “brave”… Like that. There is nothing confusing about those choices… They all make sense! Love it! I love that bunny chicken bird! (“Bunnywren”), Well, I am not really in love with it, but you know. It’s adorable.

Heads Will Roll
Summary: A text-based RPG with static graphics, but beware that even on normal difficulty it is challenging and has a high degree of randomness, which is just as it should be for a game about a mediaeval foot soldier. If you are OK with that then give it a go, its a lot better than one of those walking simulators that pretend to be RPGs these days.
Summary for those who have played A Legionary’s Life: The obvious differences are that HWR has graphics and you can save and reload, but the main gameplay difference is that in LL an attack only costs stance/energy if you miss, while in HWR it always costs stance/energy. Hence in LL you often end up just making the same low-risk attack every turn, whereas in HWR you can’t do that, and this plus the varying attacks for different weapons makes combat in HWR more varied than in LL.

A lot of game for the money.
A hybrid cross between a “Choose Your Adventure” and a single character, turn-based battler.
It’s an engaging mix and when it works, it works quite well.
Unfortunately, the game is quite buggy. I have yet to make it through an entire run without encountering a game breaking bug ( usually at the end of a battle ). Since you can’t save during battle, you are sometimes forced to replay the same battle multiple times. This can be tedious or frustrating depending the difficulty and length of the battle you have to repeat.

Lakeburg Legacies
Lakeburg Legacies is a social-based village management sim focused on pairing up your townsfolk to make the best, most effective families in order for your kingdom to grow and thrive. Make couples between your favourite villagers and create the best lineages generations after generations so the families can be as effective as possible in their jobs, which earns your village prestige!
Be careful though: each character has their preferences and their little flaws that you will need to discover, or else Lady Sophia the wealthy duchess will end up marrying the poor but handsome Alfred the farmer…
From small village to flourishing kingdom: manage your resources to thrive!
Make couples! Pair together the lovebirds of your town and find the perfect matches to create the strongest, happiest settlement around.
Write your legacy: happy couples will have children who will inherit their parents’ characteristics.
Drama! Navigate tricky, randomised events that will introduce chaos in the love life of your people. Try to keep them in check!
Everything procedural: every playthrough of Lakeburg Legacies is different - what kind of ruler will you be?
Palais de Reine
Played a bit more, and decided to add some new and fresh feelings. I definitely recommend this game, like 99 out of 100. Though lots of texts, even the opening took me like more than an hour (I’m a slow reader, though).
Highlight of the game, I think, is the way of building characters. Each character have distinct personalities and personal stories, for like 30-40 characters? It also built a pretty complete world, with reasonable explanation for all things I can think of.
This is a mixture of romance and strategy, like half-half. Yet I guess a reason why this game is not very popular is that neither is out-standing. I mean, both are great, but if compare each element to famous games like Civilization (famous strategy game) or 蝶の毒 華の鎖 (famous romance game), neither part stands out. I don’t play strategy games, so I only can speak romance-wise. The number of characters is both the tame’s highlight and weakness. With so many characters, it is just impossible to make everyone’s story equally impressive. Personally, only one character’s route made me feel like in love. All other romance route makes me feel average-good but not impressive (or maybe I’m too harsh). Though most non-romance routes are beautiful.

Highly recommended.
-Romance parts are optional and not required to finish or to enjoy the game!!!
-It has two difficulty settings, normal and difficult.
-You can’t just click your way through the game. If you fail the strategy part then that means game over.
-Has partial voice acting. The 7 “poster boy” knights are all voiced, while the 20 kights are not voiced. Some of the Lords are
voiced, as well as the Princess’ two aides.
-Don’t focus too much on voiced characters. The rest of the cast all have their own stories and the majority of the characters can

Errant Kingdom (Chapters 0-5)
I’m at Chapter 3 for now, but I don’t know if I’ll ever finish this game so I’ll write my review now.
I can’t not recommend it because the game is beautiful, the characters are nice and diverse, the story is interesting, the writing isn’t boring, the music is fitting. You can choose your character’s gender and race, you can choose your backstory.
But. And this is my one big but - the romances. There are 6 “love interests” out of which 4 are involved with eachother. 2 were a couple that you can help get back together if you so wish and other 2 are implied to sleep together, without a lot of romantic interaction. You have the option to go “poli” with these 2 couples as well as just pick one. I’m not a fan of this - two’s company, 3s a crowd. I always feel like I’m third wheeling when there’s already couples in the game or that I’m breaking them up or butting in where I don’t belong.

I Cannot recommend more highly
Errant Kingdom, by Lunaris Games has easily become one of my favorite visual novels despite its status as an early access game. Yes, the game is still in development, and yes, content for it is still being produced, but what is there is quality. The art is stunning, the story is engaging and mysterious (It takes a good few chapters to finally realize why you are in Novus), the characters are unique and enchanting. I cannot get enough of this game.

Aisling and the Tavern of Elves
It’s short, but sweet and well structured. The characters have great banter between them which is really nice. it actually feels like authentic dialogue. Choices feel like they make sense when given too. Being so short, not sure it’s worth full price, but if you see it on sale then definitely worth it.

Cute and fun short story based on a cute but strong human and a very cute elf, also
a crazy witch and a devious Baroness.
Nice art in this as well, which is often the case from this developer.
Worth a read for Yuri loves and romance lovers.
