This is the story of a down-on-his luck drifter, who, due some unforseen circumstances, ends up donning the identity of a young nobleman. Now, he has to navigate life at the court of a powerful count, while doing his best to not get his cover blown…and maybe get some quality time with the many ladies of the court, while he’s at it.

Initial Release

Developer Notes:

Here is the teaser release for one of my two new projects, “The Art of Diplomacy…and Love”. Since this is just a teaser, do not expect any meaningful gameplay here. This release mainly serves to introduce the main cast of characters and the overall setting. A deeper gameplay experience will follow in future updates.

I’d love to get some feedback from you, so, if you’d like to, complete the love interest poll and add some feedback below. Thanks.
