Reminds me of a much less forgiving version of Reigns, I think I made it to day 3 at best. :P Wondering what the floppy carrot looks like...

Yup, kind of "Reigns-like" without real feedback of your actions, but I had fun taking decisions :)

This is specific genre of game where everything depends on yes or not, but it fun and have have a clear goal

Really liked the writing and the humor. It is very hard though and I am missing the soft fail mechanisms like the bars showing the state of the different factions in reign.
Loved the art.

Very Reigns-y entry indeed, but I really like it anyway.. Loved the writing and bad puns, as well as the lively music & general pace.

Great idea!

Nice play on the theme, and funny writing.

I wish there was a goal, or some better explanation as to what decides if I fail or not, but overall it's a very funny and amusing version of Reigns. Good work!

Most of the time you should be "the bad king" ;-) It would be better to see how your answers influence the peasants. Maybe some kind of indicators? One wrong answer and you are dead without knowing exactly why.

Great game! I made it to day 7.

Pretty interesting, it's a bit difficult to decide what your actions will do. Still, well done!

Nice one! I kinda cracked at some questions here. :P Feels nice to take decisions without knowing the outcome and, suddenly, everything ends! :P

Nice take on the theme, on the title too! Graphics are simple, but they convey what you mean and it goes pretty nice with the soundtrack too!

Nice work! :)

Good game, but a tad aimless.

Hm, interesting little game. I made it to Day 5, but it seems that one small decision tips everything over. I like how you can see the lines of people come up to the king as you are making the decisions, and that your consequences, for the most part, seem to be affected by what the people say. I like the little jokes put into some of the dialogue every now and then.

The only couple of issues I have with the game are that the game doesn't allow you to see the last responses long enough before a new day starts, and the music is a very short loop, which makes it annoying to listen to and focus on making decisions after a while. Aside from that, it's fun to try different decisions and balance your "king"ness from your "people"ness. hm guess that's not really a word. :P
