Hello again! Hope the end of the year is going well for you ❄️
We're leaving Marabad behind for a pilgrimage to the mountains! But before we leave, there's a couple of things for the Crown to take care of first:
R's belated birthday gift, with options to customize your Crown's hobbies and variations for romance and for friendship--as well as a chance to get to know R better, though it's entirely optional on a friendship route
For those on R's friendship route, if you choose not to get to know R better, you may have a run-in with a certain steward instead...
Variations depending on how you chose to handle Keeper Bazo last chapter
A and X romance routes having late night encounters, which may end up very differently depending on where you stand with them
Variations depending on what happened to Yekbûn in your playthrough
Variations depending on how you chose to handle the peri trader and your relationship with Kham
Choices to further shape your Crown's psyche regarding their grief and trauma. Are they on the road to healing, or are they falling back on unhealthy coping mechanisms? The options you get here will depend on a choice you made all the way back in CH6!
D romancers, you'll find their romance scenes at the end of the chapter, when the Crown has finally embarked on the pilgrimage and they're away from the eyes of the court at long last
And of course the pilgrimage itself... which draws more attention than the Crown may be comfortable with
Thank you for all your patience and support, I hope you enjoy the new chapter with the start of winter 💖
For those that are unfamiliar with the game
A Tale of Crowns is a high fantasy romance story, told in the form of a text-based interactive novel with choice mechanics. The setting is inspired by Kurdish culture as well as other historical settings in the Middle East such as Ancient Persia, but it also draws heavily from other cultures and countries in the region.
Your character is native to Arsur, a vast empire overseen by a single ruler known as the Crown. Unlike traditional monarchies, however, the title is not inherited through blood. Whenever the Crown dies, their famed golden eyes pass on to the one chosen by the Spirits of this world to be the new Crown. In this story, your MC takes on that role.
There are four different love interests to choose from, whose genders will be customized to suit the preferences of your Crown. You can find more info about them on the blog page!
Also note that this current version of the game is safe for those 16 years and older.
