How to Fool a Liar King is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. This e-book is fully voiced, so I guess you could call it an audio book... either way... not a game. It's designed to appeal to the ladies as it's a romance/dating e-book, and sequel to some other e-book, which also wasn't a game. Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best... imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Twilight (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you wanted to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages. You'd think it was garbage. Now imagine that experience, but with much worse writing (because if these guys could write professionally, they'd be published authors and this would be on shelves in bookstores, and they wouldn't have to pay Valve $100 to self-publish this on Steam), and you have your average Steam e-book. You can get better quality books and comics for free online or from public libraries, or from bookstores for a fraction of the price of this "game". Steam isn't a comic book store, neither is it Netflix, it's for games. Your gaming rig is not a Kindle. It's impossible for me to recommend things to PC gamers that aren't really games. How to Fool a Liar King has the almost comical price of $12 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games, let alone the sheer number of free, actual games available on Steam.

Play as Reginia, a girl from Ozzwa, who, while in the process of running away from home, opens her bedroom door to leave and finds herself magically transported to the Cursed Island; Eroolia. While wandering around, she stumbles upon three men, Juli, Mars, and Ronan. They are on a mission to the hidden country of the Luccretias, Laarz, and Reginia joins them in an attempt to find her way back home. Will she fall in love before that happens? How to Fool a Liar King is second in the series. How to Take Off Your Mask is first but Liar King can be read as a standalone. 5-9 hours to beat both routes, 7 chapters per route. You must play both of them to fully understand the story. All the sprites are animated with full voice acting and while things get dragged out because Reginia is a bit dense and forgets important things, it’s a pretty solid VN to read if you’re interested. I didn’t hate it, but it was definitely more enjoyable than HTYM.
This game is for those who just love a good ton of sugar, it's very sweet. And it's good for when you want to cleanse yourself after playing a bad game. At the same time it doesn't really have replay value, I admit that I yawned when I'm on my second playthrough.
Muito divertido e fofinho! Jogar o título anterior não é obrigatório, mas eu aconselho bastante para melhor compreender o universo. Pois, muitos personagens de "How to Take Off Your Mask" aparecem nesse e algumas pessoas e fatos do jogo anterior são mencionados nele. Sem falar que, mesmo que os protagonistas sejam outros, "How to Fool a Liar King" traz novidades e atualizações sobre o que acontece com os personagens do primeiro jogo. É, de fato, uma continuação. Recomendo! ~~~~PONTOS POSITIVOS:~~~~ - Complementa o primeiro jogo; - É divertido e nos mostra mais segredos do universo e de certos personagens; - Se no primeiro jogo, podíamos seguir com a rota humana ou a rota meio-gata, com capítulos especiais com a visão de Ronan, não apenas da Lilia. Nesse, Podemos seguir uma rota inteira do ponto de vista da Regina e outra rota, ainda da Regina, mas com outros acontecimentos que mudam completamente grande parte da história, as coisas acontecem de forma bem diferente. não é repetido, algo a ser pulado... E temos, constantemente, muitas cenas do ponto de vista do Juli (Seria mais ou menos a rota dele, só que permanecemos controlando a Regina). ~~~~PONTOS NEGATIVOS:~~~~ - Só temos escolhas que alteram a gameplay até o capítulo 2. A partir do capítulo 3, é só leitura e o destino já está definido. Faltou um pouco mais de autonomia. Mesmo assim, curti o jogo. - Outro ponto que não seria bem "um negativo", mas algo que poderia ser melhorado, é o de que não há localização para o português brasileiro. Não que isso torne um jogo ruim. Não é isso! É que como o primeiro jogo já tem essa opção, é meio estranho as continuações não possuírem. Ainda não joguei o terceiro título, mas aparentemente, também não é traduzido. Seria apenas algo a ser acrescentado. ~~~~OBSERVAÇÕES~~~~ No mais, é um vn legal e eu recomendo. Mas, se busca por um vn de romance otome com harém reverso, saiba que os títulos desse universo possuem apenas um LI (interesse amoroso), não temos outras opções. O que muda é como a história se desenrola. Pra mim, não foi um problema. Mas, para quem só curte vn com vários LI's, talvez você não se agrade desses 3 jogos.
It's a good game. Great art, VA, story, music, videos, animations, etc... Thing is it's kind of short and very political but that's better than a regular otome game. I like the focus on plot and I think it's setting up for the third game (the last in the series). It's the kind of game that is really fun for 3 hours one afternoon but you wish it was a lot longer but at least it has two routes and I only finished Juli's route. It's a good game. The romance is questionable at times for reasons I can't say here but it's still a great game and this just adds a layer of complexity to otherwise "sort of flat" characters. The political part makes the game better in my opinion even though it kind of ruins my happy moments of gushing over the art/character development/story.
이건 뭐 내가 남자라서 오글거리는건지 중년이라 도저히 저 나이를 이해를 못해서 오글거리는건지 30여분 진행하는 동안 느끼해서 못하겠군요. 아무리 비주얼 노블장르라해도 ㅠㅠ
[h1]🎮 Reseña de How to Fool a Liar King[/h1] [h2]Resumen del Juego[/h2] How to Fool a Liar King es una novela visual indie de aventura/casual con protagonista femenina, romance y fantasía, donde tu “jugabilidad” principal consiste en leer, elegir opciones y luego fingir sorpresa cuando tus decisiones te llevan a uno de sus finales múltiples. Es otome en estado puro: miradas intensas, drama bonito, y ese delicado arte de enamorarte de alguien que probablemente debería ir a terapia antes de a una cita. La primera impresión es clara: esto no viene a reinventar el género, viene a consentirte. Te sienta, te sirve una trama “adorable” con estética anime y te dice: “elige con cuidado”. Y tú, como buen ser humano, eliges mal a propósito para ver qué tan rápido se descarrila el tren romántico. En Steam, al menos, llega con extras de vitrina (28 logros, cromos, Steam Cloud), perfecto para quien quiere una historia ligera con rejugabilidad basada en rutas… y para quien colecciona logros como si fueran medallas de guerra por hacer clic en “Siguiente”. [h2]Lo Encantador y lo Sospechosamente Conveniente[/h2] Lo Bueno: ✅ 💖 Romance otome con protagonista femenina: directo al punto y sin vergüenza. ✅ 🧭 Finales múltiples: sí hay razones para rejugar y ver “qué pasa si ahora sí no la riego”. ✅ ☁️ Steam Cloud + logros (28): progreso guardado y checklist para tu lado completionist. ✅ 🃏 Cromos de Steam: el verdadero endgame para algunos. Lo No Tan Bueno: ❌ 🧍 Un jugador y “casual” en el sentido más literal: si buscas interacción real, aquí tu mayor enemigo es tu indecisión. ❌ 👻 0 jugadores actuales: la fantasía más grande del juego es encontrar a alguien hablando de él en tiempo real. ❌ 📊 Recomendaciones totales: N/A… o sea, entras sin termómetro social; valiente o imprudente, tú decides. ❌ 🎮 Aventura muy de novela visual: si esperabas mecánicas, te van a responder con más texto. [h2]Tabla de Evaluación[/h2] [table] [tr][th]Aspecto[/th][th]Puntuación (0-10)[/th][th]Comentario[/th][/tr] [tr][td]Jugabilidad[/td][td]6[/td][td]Elecciones y lectura: cumple, pero no sorprende.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Dificultad / IA[/td][td]6[/td][td]No hay IA que te venza; tú solito te autosaboteas con decisiones.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Contenido[/td][td]7[/td][td]Finales múltiples y estructura de rutas: hay carne para rejugar.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Gráficos / Video[/td][td]7[/td][td]Estilo anime acorde al romance/fantasía; bonito sin romper el internet.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Historia[/td][td]7[/td][td]Buena trama dentro del otome: engancha si compras el drama.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Ambientación[/td][td]7[/td][td]Fantasía romántica bien marcada; consistente con el tono adorable.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Efectos (VFX)[/td][td]6[/td][td]Lo esperable en novela visual: sobrio, funcional.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Música[/td][td]6[/td][td]Acompaña sin estorbar; no es el show principal.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Voces[/td][td]6[/td][td]No destaca por datos disponibles; asumimos estándar del género.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Diversidad[/td][td]6[/td][td]Otome clásico: cumple el molde, no necesariamente lo rompe.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Rendimiento[/td][td]7[/td][td]Novela visual: debería ir fluido en casi cualquier cosa decente.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Rejugabilidad[/td][td]7[/td][td]Finales múltiples + logros: incentivo claro para repetir.[/td][/tr] [tr][td][b]Total Puntuaciones (Bueno)[/b][/td][td][b]6.5[/b][/td][td]Una VN otome sólida: agradable, cumplidora, y sin pretensiones heroicas.[/td][/tr] [/table] [h2]Conclusión (Bueno)[/h2] How to Fool a Liar King es “bueno” en el sentido más honesto: hace lo que promete (romance, fantasía, rutas y finales) y lo hace con el encanto típico de una novela visual indie que sabe a quién le habla. No vas a encontrar un sistema de combate, ni un mundo abierto, ni una revolución narrativa… pero sí una experiencia ligera y enfocada, con suficientes finales para justificar varias vueltas. Lo controversial: en Steam se siente como una fiesta a la que llegaste tarde… y encima eres el único invitado (0 jugadores actuales). Y como las recomendaciones totales están en N/A, te toca jugar al explorador sin brújula: o descubres una joyita personal, o confirmas que el silencio también es una crítica. Si te gustan los otome, las protagonistas femeninas y el drama romántico con estética anime, aquí hay material. Si no, este “Rey mentiroso” no te va a engañar: vas a leer mucho, decidir poco, y aun así sentirte culpable por todo. [h3]Recomendación de Compra (Recomendado con reservas)[/h3] Puntuación Total: 6.5/10 Número de jugadores activos al momento de hacer esta review: 0 Descuento máximo registrado: N/A Veredicto: [i]Recomendado con reservas: buen otome de novela visual, pero vienes por romance y rutas… no por innovación.[/i] Si lo tuyo son las novelas visuales románticas con finales múltiples y te gusta completar logros mientras coleccionas cromos, te va a rendir bien. Si necesitas comunidad activa, conversación alrededor del juego o “aventura” con mecánicas más allá de elegir diálogos, mejor ve con expectativas bien amarradas… o este rey te va a mentir y tú le vas a creer feliz.
I think this definitely improved from the first game, with more likable main characters and a more interesting story. Should be worth playing if you liked How to Take Off Your Mask (but you can still play this without playing that game).

I've played a few Otome games and by far this sequel is in my top 3. I enjoyed the different point of views for each of the two main characters in all three games, it gave you a peek into both character's perspectives of the situations they both went through together. I also enjoyed the side characters, their reactions and responses were funny and you got an insight on how they thought of the main characters. Overall it is an enjoyable game to play and it doesn't take too long to complete, even so it still has a well thought out plot (in my opinion). P.S. Before playing this game, make sure you check out the first one to the sequel "How to Take Off Your Mask" because most of the characters will overlap in "How to Fool a Liar King", which is a continuation to the first game. Also don't forget to get the last game to this sequel "How to Sing to Open Your Heart" after you complete "How to Fool a Liar King".
