Our take on Kingsway

The desktop interface receives much of the presentation, while permanent death sets a stricter condition for each run. Emphasis on sorting items and arranging windows may leave the consequences of character loss less prominent than the interface theme.

What is Kingsway?

Kingsway is an RPG played through a mock operating system.

Enemies and traps appear as popups, quests arrive as emails, and backpacks function as folders for organizing items. Each playthrough generates a different world, and death is permanent. Players choose among character types with special skills, explore a land of monsters and bandits, and decide whether to help fellow adventurers or pursue theft and murder. Combat involves defeating enemies and searching crypts and caves for treasure. Quests provide additional treasure, while the interface can be arranged to suit different play styles.
