Your king father is dead, and you are now alone. A day ago he stood strong and proud. The royal advisors found cause and means to open your king father's chest to voice their dissent against his rule. "Trust no one," were his dying words. You do not know why they killed him, or how they killed him, but there is no denying that they succeeded. The mandate of heaven falls to you. You must prolong the Dynasty.
Dynasty is a social deduction roguelike in which you must rule your kingdom through your advisors, who you are unsure whether you can trust. Your advisors hold the keys to power. You must please them enough to keep them loyal and grant them the power to administrate your kingdom. But beware-- the more power you grant them, the more they may use that power against you. You must survive 30 turns without being assassinated. If you have not been assassinated by your advisors by turn 30, you win.
Features:
- Play a social deduction roguelike in which you must avoid assassination by your advisors as you administer your kingdom.
- 200 programs
- 30 turns
- 15 abilities
- 6 advisors
- 1 monarch
There are six primary advisors:
- Seneschal Belmin: The majordomo of your palace. Through him you can curry the loyalty of your other advisors. He can help you expand your palace and staff, and with enough power can learn the true loyalty of your other advisors.
- Captain Niri: The Captain of your Crownguard. She will help you discover and foil assassination plots. If you suspect another advisor of plotting against you, you can have her arrest them, to be replaced by another hopefully more loyal second.
- Treasurer Chaddik: Of the Royal Treasury. He safeguards your income and manages your coffers and expenses. Through him you can purchase the loyalty of other advisors.
- Magistrate Elenda: Of the Ministry of the Commons. She represents the will of your subjects. Without her resourceful solutions to the problems your kingdom faces, there would surely be unrest and revolts.
- Unitary Alesanvi: The highest religious officiant. The piety of other advisors only offers her more power, though she tells you that her power comes only from the heavens.
- General Higan: The commander of the Royal Army. Through his military might you can command fear and obedience. Beware that you do not turn your kingdom into a military dictatorship.
