About This Game

Crown of Sand is a historical narrative RPG set in the medieval Mediterranean, on the eve of the Third Crusade.

You were born in Marseille, a bustling port city, into a family crushed by overwhelming debt. Your mother struggles to survive. Your father abandoned you at birth, leaving for the Holy Land.

In a world where everyone fights for their place, what kind of life will you carve out for yourself? From Marseille to Jerusalem, your choices will take you into the heart of the Crusades, amid power struggles, religious convictions and shattered lives.

Your Life. Your Choices. Your Story.

Will you become a knight, a man of faith, a powerful merchant or an outlaw? Will you pledge allegiance to Richard the Lionheart, join Saladin, or stand with those who reject the war?

Every choice comes at a price. Your decisions shape your character, your relationships and the course of your story. Some consequences may not surface until much later.
