Synopsis

The King is dead. His daughter, Princess Selena, is set to take the crown. But something is wrong. Murder, backstabbing, and visions of extinction threaten to bring ruin to all that is good. And at the heart of it all is a tale of personal tragedy and lost love.

 

You are a Truthsayer. Yours is the ability to tell if someone is lying. With your mentor dead, it is up to you to protect the Princess when she arrives in your hometown for her coronation. But a secretive old crone and her foul-mouthed pixie assistant have different plans for you.

 

With a newly learned ability to uncover secrets and use them to your own advantage, you are tasked with getting close to Princess Selena to save her from her darkness. But to achieve that, you must practice by getting close to the women in town. Real close.

 

And as you venture towards your destiny, someone is watching you closely...

 

Gameplay
Do you like Persona? Do you like Ace Attorney? There are elements of both in this game. You have a limited number of in-game days to prepare yourself for the Princess' arrival. Each day allows you to take three separate actions. Your choice of actions will dictate whether or not you are ready when the Princess finally arrives, so choose wisely. Carefully balance the various aspects of your life, such as practicing your spellcasting, improving your abilities, building relationships, earning money, and so on. Don't worry, there is no grinding in this game, and every action will be meaningful.
 
While doing all this, you also have to uncover the deepest, darkest secrets of the girls in town so that you can affect them with your spells. When you feel confident that you have figured out a girl's secrets, confront her and reveal the knowledge you have uncovered at the precise time needed for maximum effect.
 
Long Live the Princess is not a linear game, and you might very well end up failing in your quest. Replaying will allow you to keep some of your abilities from the previous playthrough, increasing your chances of success the second time around. Can you find all the game's secrets?

Nice game so far!  Relatively limited options, of course, but I quite like your writing and the plot.  The system for uncovering secrets is a good way to make the mind control more than just 'wham, I control your every move' and give it some gameplay depth.

 

Looking forward to watching this develop.

Version 0.20 has now been released for everyone. I have updated the links in the first post.

 

Changelog:

  • New scenes for Primrose (featuring more than 60 new images).
  • The current day of the week is now shown when time progresses.
  • Disabled the loading of old saves to prevent crashes and story progression issues.
  • Lifted the time limit completely for now. It will be reintroduced in a later version.
  • Backgrounds now use JPG instead of PNG, reducing the size of the game on disk.
  • Tweaked clue names in the code to reduce the risk of accidental spoilers in case of crashes.

Version 0.3 is now out for patrons. I have updated the links in the first post to reflect this. 0.3 will be available to everyone in exactly one month, on December 28th.

 

Changelog:

  • Expanded main storyline.

I like the writing here. There is some real humor there and the characters actually feel like characters.  It's a pleasure to see a visual novel where you don't have to strain to try to figure out what the author is saying because they can't construct a proper sentence.

You have no idea how much I agree with you. Bad writing is so common in adult games, and it's a complete turnoff. I'm sure there are otherwise great games out there that I haven't given a chance because the first few screens were nearly incomprehensible gibberish.

I've been playing the public version for the past four hours. What a great game. The writing is indeed superb, a huge improvement over every adult game I've ever played (admittedly not very many).

 

I might have to look into creating a Patreon account to play the rest of what you've completed!

Very impressed by this!
Are there any failure states in it at the moment? Or is the "fail and start over with your stats intact" something for a future release?

 

 

There are no failure states right now, and the ones that are going to be in the game will be few and far between. Failure will be more in terms of not being able to achieve some or all of your long-term goals in the game, but there's little, if anything, that will make you fail outright, at least not until the end-game. At some point in the future, I will implement New Game+ which will let you restart the game with your abilities intact no matter if you win or lose. That's not going to happen for a little while though.

 

It's also worth noting that I try to avoid "good" and "bad" endings for individual girls. There will be paths that are clearly superior or inferior, but each will have their own scenes and payoffs. You'll start to see the beginnings of this concept in version 0.6.
