You will take on the role of the heir to the throne, destined to rule a great Empire. Wield the power of authority and bear the burden of the crown, as every decision you make shapes both you and the fate of the realm. What future awaits the Empire, and what sacrifices must be made to achieve it, is entirely up to you.
The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian is a dark interactive story with RPG elements and extensive narrative branching, filled with philosophical themes and difficult moral dilemmas.
As Prince Jerian of House Tempest, you will walk a lifelong path: from a child unaware of his destiny to the future Emperor he was born and raised to become. As heir to the throne, you must come to understand your country and make many difficult choices that will affect both the fragile balance of power in the Empire and you personally.
Key Features
Feel like the ruler of the Empire
Get a closer look at the lives of those chosen by the Gods to rule and learn the price every ruler must pay for the Empire to prosper. Can you preserve your realm without losing yourself?
Make countless decisions
Your choices reshape the world. The country is in decline, its estates are locked in bitter strife: the nobles cling to tradition, the common folk cry out for freedom from cruel laws, and the church is torn by schism. Only you can decide the future of them all. But never forget: every choice will have consequences.
Create your own story
From the earliest years of the prince’s life, you will shape him. The personal qualities and skills he develops, and the people in his inner circle he chooses to trust, will define his character and his fate. What kind of ruler will he become? That choice is yours!
Defy the will of harsh gods
In the Empire, every life is bound by a sacred law sent down by the Twins, the gods of this world. Nobles are destined to rule, the clergy to guard the faith, and common folk to suffer and obey. This order is sealed by the Pact, an ancient covenant between gods and mortals that has protected House Tempest for centuries. But is it possible to go against the will of the Gods and change it?
