Seven Kingdoms: Masterlist

[alias_sqbr]

Someone on a discord I'm on found out I'd backed the kickstarter for this game then never gotten around to actually playing the almost finished version currently available. She successfully encouraged me to do so, asking to hear my reactions, and I though some of the rest of you might be interested too.

So! Seven Kingdoms: The Princess Problem is a fantasy visual novel with stats building and romance. You play a customisable noblewoman sent to an international conference to form a political marriage.

The demo came out in 2015 and I had a lot of fun with it, the full game has been in development hell since then but apparently what exists is pretty satisfying.

Here's my non-spoilery review of the demo with more info about the game.

And here's a spoilery post I made as I aimed for various goals, much of which is entirely incomprehensible to me now haha.

I'm going to write up my reactions as I go, so expect spoilers! I'm going to assume you've read my non-spoilery review, but will try and explain everything else. Especially since I might need some notes, I vaguely recall failing at a bunch of things my first few times through >.>

Lord Blain: Grumpy and tactless.

Hise: Egalitarian pirates.
*‘Prince’ Hamin: Fun, impulsive pirate.
Princess Cordelia: A nice but reserved and uptight girl who really doesn't suit being a pirate.

Jiyel: China, full of nerds.
General Falon: Honourable warrior.

Lord Blain is not a love interest! And neither is Cordelia, unfortunately.
