Arik's hit breaking point. A tyrant is running his country into the ground, and nobody seems to be doing anything.
It's time to gather your friends, hit the road, and make your way to court to take the Lord down.






Cultivate platonic, antagonistic, or romantic relationships—and more.
Arik can pursue different potential relationships with each member of the party—or leave them to make their own (invariably terrible) decisions. But be cautious: not every relationship will go well. You might find yourself setting up two party members...then demanding they break up.




Every decision you make affects Arik's motivations and personality.
Soft and gentle lad with a heart of gold, or angry and aggressive timebomb? Each decision opens up new possible relationships with party members—and shuts other doors for good.




Struggle to keep everyone happy—or pick favourites and alienate others.
Party members have distinct outlooks, wants, and needs. Keeping some of them happy might mean betraying others. Walk a fine line to keep everyone happy, or pick favourites and drive others away.


In this elaborately constructed world, there's a lot to find:

• Announce your brilliant plan...then glimpse a party member silently rolling their eyes in the corner of the screen
  
• Learn to correctly pronounce someone's name, permanently updating the UI
  
• Nickname your lover after the stupid thing they said that one time
  
• Screw everything up
  
• Learn how to make your friends laugh
  
• Have a poorly judged hookup really early on and then spend the rest of the playthrough awkwardly trying not to address it
  
• Experience the thrill of almost, but not quite, holding hands with somebody you love
  
• Make one bad decision and then try to redeem yourself while everyone makes snide comments
  
• Tell three characters in one day that they're the love of your life, then navigate the fallout
  
• And a lot more of that sort of thing
