About This Game

Twenty-four years. One heir. A single story among many.

Inherit a small kingdom at the edge of a wider world. Your father is gone, your council is waiting, and the weight of the realm is on your shoulders. Rule through the changing seasons, manage the delicate balance of gold and grain, and navigate a web of politics where no choice is purely good or evil.

A Fully Voice-Acted Experience
Step into a living storybook. Every major decision, character interaction, and narrative milestone is brought to life by a fully voice-acted cast, making your journey through the decades deeply immersive.

Choose Your Queen, Shape Your Fate
Your journey begins with a pivotal choice. Select one of six unique queens to join your side at the start of your reign. Each queen offers a different storyline, a different way of shaping the kingdom, and a unique path toward many different possible endings.

Every Choice Matters
Your decisions ripple through the gold, the grain, the army, and the people. While your choices are yours alone, the ways a reign can unfold are vast and varied.

Heed Their Counsel, or Rule Alone
Your council is assembled from the very first day. Your wife is by your side. The question is whether you will listen to their advice, heed their guidance, or choose to rule entirely by your own will. As your heir grows, they too will seek your ear. Will you guide them, or will they follow their own path?

Completely Free to Play
This is a complete experience. There are no microtransactions, no live service elements, and no separately sold content. Just your story.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

To Raise a King was made by one person working with AI collaborators. AI tools were used in the following ways during development, and every AI output shipped in the game was reviewed, curated, edited, and approved by the developer before inclusion.

Source code. Written in collaboration with Anthropic's Claude, with the developer directing architecture, reviewing every change, and testing behavior.

Character and scene illustrations. Generated locally with the FLUX.2 image model running in ComfyUI. Prompts, reference images, layered compositions, and final selections were all authored and curated by the developer.

Voice acting. Voices were produced with ElevenLabs. The developer cast each role, wrote each line, directed the delivery through iteration, and hand-picked the takes shipped in the game.

Music and sound. Music and select sound effects were produced with ElevenLabs' music generation. Tracks were selected, edited, and placed by the developer.

Writing and design. Story beats, dialogue, and system design were developed collaboratively with Claude, with the developer as the final author.

The developer confirms they hold or have licensed the rights to use these tools' outputs commercially, and has taken reasonable steps to ensure no infringing or unlawful content was produced.
