About
You are the ruler – the fully customizable, so-called sovereign – of the town of Mistwinter Bay. You get to rule for five years, watching the seasons pass as you play. By making choices in unique events that occur every month, you shape the town and its people.
There are 32 unique characters who can live in the town and it is up to you to decide who gets that opportunity. Subjects, as well as six foreign rulers, may like or dislike you based on your actions. Positive reputation with a character opens up the opportunity to deepen the relationship with them. Negative reputation may lead to an unfixable relationship or even someone’s death.
There are many choices leading to unique outcomes in dialogues, and many of them affect the town’s resources or characters’ perception of you. With several unique endings to each event, randomization of which events will occur and more events than can be cleared during a single playthrough, every playthrough is unique.
Expand the town with buildings of your choosing. Since most buildings are linked to a townsperson, you also decide who gets to live in the town. Sometimes, you may have to choose between two possible buildings to place on a lot, which means that it is impossible to place all buildings in a single playthrough. The characters you have determines how you can handle events, since it is possible to send subjects to complete certain tasks. All characters are unique with their own personality, stories and set of skills, which means they can succeed or fail at tasks. If they fail, there is a risk that they will perish in some scenarios. Even the sovereign is not immune to death, and depending on your game settings, anyone’s death can be permanent.
