I don't know if it's me but the main character is the winter king, the true king why don't I feel like a king?
I'm on book 2 which is a perfect time to do king duties but it feels like Emily is the one ruling the kingdom.
All you are doing is standing next to her like some bodyguard while she is sitting on your throne.
Emily Goes to an important meeting and you as a king are working in some bar.
I Don't Understand the king system in this game
He's a warrior king, not an administrator king, like Alexander the Great, the Lionheart or Napoleon. The mood also shifts in Book 3, when the MC finally starts to throw his weight around the castle.

As everyone already mentioned, he considers it more Emily's world than anything else. Let's be honest, he barely knew anything about magic four months ago. Having him ruling a declining magical kingdom in time of war seem a recipe for disaster. At best, most people would probably be terrified of his presence in the meeting room to make anything productive. To remind you, he's a god with history of setting castles with people and workers in it on fire. At worst, some ignorant staff or noble would infuriate him to set them on fire every time. Again, not really productive. Best to stick to what he's good at: slice and dice, fireballs, reality bending, and the occasional soul crushing. Those, and gathering followers and tools for the fight.

Though it's not to say he can't learn to do it. And he did bring out ideas that are excellent, though Emily did the minutia of implementing them. So it might happen over the course of years or decades without Sorcery. Which is fine IMO. The cast's lifespans are in the thousands of years, at least by beginning of B2. And in B3, he and the Chosen are practically ageless because of Faith.

As for the throne, I'd imagine he's the one sitting on it during the times he's meeting people during the War Council portions of the game. Though without the renders for it. He did say his barstool upgraded to throne. I could be wrong on this though.
I get what you saying I am just thinking a king should be more involved in the responsibility of ruling a kingdom.
He is a king which means the heart of the kingdom, but it is still a great book.

If you follow the story from Book 1, Owyn is just a college kid from Maryland, US who fell in love with a girl when he saved her from a minotaur. He has zero aspirations of being king of anything. No temprament or desire to rule. Emily was raised from birth to some day be queen. Owyn just accepts that his "destiny" is to hold the mantle of "Once and Future King", making him a god, and to use his power to win a war. Smart man! Do what you are good at (setting things on fire), and let Emily tend to the porceline!!! ;)
I will just look forward play as a king sitting on my throne making an important decisions, I guess you can't be a king and a god at the same time

Goddammit, the ending of Book 2 hits hard. It should have been us.

EDIT: Also huge praise to the Dev. The story is amazing, the characters really likeable, phenomenally written. I really do wonder how the game would look like f you had more people/cash/time from the very beginning (especiially the "epic walkout scene" in Act 1, which was really great moment, but highlighted the technical limitations).

EDIT2: You might also want to put the game on GOG and itch.io, so you will get a bigger cut too.

It is on itch.io ( ). I asked GoG, they told me to pound sand :)

Apart from that, finally got around to refreshing the game's website... it was like 2 years out of date :D

Damn, that sucks. I thought they already opened their shop to these games, seeing as Being a Dik is on it and was even featured on a frontpage.

Oh well. Once I get some more stable source of income (that will me to live something more than "from paycheck to paycheck") then I'm gonna buy it on itch.io, so you will get the cash you deserve.

And yes - that also includes Keith, Booker and the rest of male portion of the clan. Chloe too, even if she's not a member, because she does what she wants and noone would dare to say otherwise to her.

I may be Camelot's King. But you are it's Queen. Left to my own devices I am far too likely to bring the hammer of divine wrath down on the fragile machinery of the Court.

Admittedly, this is book 3 and at this point he's got some anger issues, but I think he's just fundamentally unsuited for micromanaging things. He sets them in motion, then he lets other people deal with the TPS PTSD reports RESULTS.
THERE FIXED IT FOR YOU!

Okay, I finished day 241 yesterday, which capped three days of smut :) I know I'm supposed to be writing a porn game, but this one ended up quite extensive by my standards. I also finally got my mittens on a 3090 card so... moar animations!

With that I've got 5 more events before Act XIV is done; I took a small detour along the way to do some R&D (check out the #morningstar channel on the if you're curious), but I should be done in a week or two.

To celebrate I decided to make a couple of animating gifs; it's been too long since I did one :)

I'm playing through the 13th time. Love the story! I still get bad poker problems. The last one was two 4's and joker game called it a straight. The poker is the only thing that has problems as far as I can see. I love the girls, but Emily is my fav. I love romance and with her it is the best I have seen. Great job Droid! I hate that this is the end and hope your next game has the same rich lore that this one has.

Hope so :) The next game is likely to be called Morningstar, a more gritty Urban Fantasy set in a different universe, but with a lot of familiar faces. One of the testers called it a multiverse solution. If you're on Patreon you can check out Day 1's demo on a beta branch of Book 3, alternatively you can see me playing and talking about the first 1/2 day on the Discord server.

So your making a multiverse if so good luck I wish you the best and hope it doesn't turn out like bayonetta multiverse.

It's being updated as the game's being developed. Mostly done by JMINATL. Note that because of this not everything listed in the walkthrough would always be immediately available in public release versions. Not really a problem right now since Droid's developing Act XIV, but it could confuse some people once he starts adding the in-between Act+ content. Things might get shuffled around.

I just finished up ACT II of BOOK 1, and I have to notice that I don't actually make a lot of decisions when it comes to romance options. Emily is forced on you, and you don't even get to pick your responses to her - the character is immediately in love with her and she is his 'the one'. Not gonna lie, doesn't sit right with me. Waaay too linear for a sandbox game...
