The Broken Crown
The Broken Crown is a dark fantasy text adventure set in a fallen kingdom.
Survival in this world does not depend on fast controls or combat skill.
Players read, choose, and follow the memories and secrets of a broken kingdom.
The Broken Crown focuses less on complex systems or flashy visuals, and more on atmosphere, moments of choice, and the lingering weight those choices leave behind.

Development Note
At first, I chose the text adventure format to reduce the burden of creating graphics.
Creating choices and branches, then making each decision lead naturally into a different flow, turned out to be far more complicated than I expected.
Because of that, The Broken Crown is not the fully branching game I first imagined.
Even so, what I wanted to express through this work is clear.
It has its limitations, but The Broken Crown is a personal dark fantasy story created through that process of trial and error.
