It’s been quite some time since I’ve played this but luckily I did a review back in the day.
Story: The main story revolves around the Loren family, Kay along with his sisters Gwendolyn and Elaine discover that they are the descendants of rulers of a long destroyed city state called Ascalia. Instead of your typical adventure that sees valiant heroes reclaim their birthright through heroism and hard work, the Lorens discover that their ancestors were reckless with spending and have burdened them with a crushing debt that needs to be repaid. With the help of your sisters and a ghost of an ancestor past, as Kay you need to work on rebuilding the empire in order to hold off the debt collectors from leaving you with nothing.
Gameplay loop: Progression through the story is dependent on completing a specific set of tasks within an allotted time. At the beginning of each chapter, the ancestral ghost will let you know how many of a general set of quests need to be completed before the next debt payment. Some of the chapters also include separate tasks that are demanded by the kingdom folk with a set time for completion as well.
Assessment: It’s a ton of content from an indie developer, they manage to put a solid offering together that blends city management with some fun comedy and voice acting. Pretty decent game.
