About This Game

Two children raised together. One, a future King. The other, his whipping child.

Their relationship? It's up to you to develop.

Love the Guard, Be the King is purely a Fantasy Visual Novel game focused on Romance and/or Friendship, written and developed by solo dev Ligia Nunes, author of "Bear in Sheep's Clothing."

✨Age suggested: 16+ for non-explicit sexual scenes, some soft swearing, and violence.✨

MATHIAS’S HEART HAS BEEN bleeding since his father, the former King, decided to punish you for his mistakes. As the youngest child of a lesser bourgeois, you were raised in the castle, between the King’s cruelty, the Queen’s friendship, and Mathias’s kindness (or supposed kindness?).

Now, more than twenty Carnivals since your arrival, the King is dead and the Queen’s sickness worsens each day. As the azure taint spreads in the kingdom and the Opalean Wars come to an end, it’s Mathias’s time to sit on the throne. Will the docile Prince become a kind King, a violent Monarch, or a ruthless Tyrant?

Will you have any say in it?

And how much will your relationship change? Develop your personality, see how your choices build, and change your bond with Mathias. It’s time to help him choose. Will your monarch Love the Guard or Be the King?
