Our take on Arcadie II: Cold Lands
Rather than centering the genre on battles or exploration, the game places rulership, romance, and personal relationships at the center of progression. The kingdom changes through political and interpersonal decisions, while replay comes from revisiting choices and pursuing different endings.
What is Arcadie II: Cold Lands?
Take the throne as the last person able to wield Aether, a mystical force that can call fire and lightning.
Govern a divided kingdom through diplomacy, tyranny, alliances, rebellion, trade, and decisions involving the people closest to the crown. Create a character and shape their personality through choices that affect the world and its relationships. Romance allies, enemies, or remain unattached, with each romance following its own conflicts.
