About

The Silent Kingdom is a story-driven, otome RPG developed by a single dev, where player's choices and interactions with other characters set the narrative.
If you like dark fables and meaningful decision-making games, you'll enjoy this adventure in which you can shape the fate of the protagonist.

Place yourself in the role of Princess Erinys, whose kingdom has fallen under the yoke of a sorrowful curse. In order to save everything you have ever known and loved, you’ll have to stand against the entire world - and even defy the Goddess herself.
How much weight will a withered kingdom burden your soul? As a princess, will you be loved or hated, betrayer or betrayed? Will you seek comfort in the companionship of others, or will the demise of your kingdom seal your heart away forever?
A path of thorns is waiting. The manner in which you walk it is up to you.

A main character that's defined, yet mouldable to your taste.
Princess Erinys is an established protagonist with both a background and a personality of her own, yet it's up to you to decide how she'll evolve and relate to the other characters. You can also select your own preferred name for her.
Roleplay experience.
Apart from the most impactful decisions in the story, many dialogue interactions will also contain choices that merely focus on immersion. One answer is not necessarily better than another; it just offers different ways of interacting with others.
Romance.
If you wish, you can explore romantic bonds with the two accompanying characters. Although not required in order to see the story to its completion, the relationships you forge with other characters will influence its development.
Turn-based battle system.
While the story remains the most important element, combat will be indispensable to progress. The turn-based combat system offers three distinct and fully hand-animated characters.
Dark and emotional story.
Will the princess question her own morality? Will narcissism and lust for power replace faithful bonds to become her most loyal companions? And from what prism will she judge the sins of others?

I was dying for a JRPG with great hand-drawn art, a grounded dark story, good dialog, and gameplay with enough challenge to feel like I've earned progression and the game isn't playing itself but not hard enough to kill my vibe. This is 100% that game. Just finished and I'm already planning on restarting and doing an alternate path run!! I can't say enough about the amazing art, animations, plot. The clever and sometimes surprising minigame mechanics. First game I've bought at full price in years, and it is worth every penny because there just ISN'T another game like this!
I’ve played so many otomes over the years, and it’s incredibly rare to come across a treasure like The Silent Kingdom. It easily outshines otomes from well-known studios with full teams behind them. Even in early access, it has more polish, heart, and personality than so many otomes on the market. It's going to be so hard to go back to them! The Silent Kingdom has everything I look for: a compelling story with excellent prose, enticing love interests (I love that one is shy but loyal, while the other is bold and mysterious—truly the best of both worlds), classic RPG mechanics that feel refreshing in an otome space (though it can be tough at times!), and beautiful art and music. I absolutely can't wait to continue the story!

Absolutely one of my favorite games, as someone who is heavily into Visual novels it combines my love of this and turned based combat/exploration. The story is beautifully written and you can definitely see all the time that has been put into it. I played this when it first released into early access and still haven’t forgotten about it. I’m so excited for the full release.

I was locked in from the start. Compelling story, beautiful music and interesting characters. I love it, I played a few different playthroughs and was surprised each time. This game has been on my mind since I played. I cant wait for the full game. xoxo

THIS has the potential to be my favorite story in an RPG.
I always love the idea of otome games but I hate visual novels so this was an amazing find! The dialog is interesting, the story is well-written, there isn't a bunch of unnecessary filler, you're constantly doing something so it doesn't have that awful slow dragging playstyle of VNs, story progression is fast without feeling rushed, the combat is just challenging enough to feel rewarding, the art is absolutely beautiful, and the characters feel real. I'm actually really sad I missed the chance to help fund their kickstarter because I seriously just want to throw my money at this dev for making such a good game. I cannot wait for part 2! Edit: One thing I hope will change is being able to save more frequently. Sometimes I need to drop games on a dime but I can't until I reach a certain point which can sometimes take a long time.
An amazing feat for a solo developer! Beautiful art, interesting, nuanced choices leading to meaningfully different outcomes, compelling characters with depth. The romance is well-executed, both options are interesting in very different ways, but even if you're not particularly interested in romance, the storyline is worth your while. An otome game with actual gameplay, and good integration between gameplay and story!!! It's a truly unique game that I would encourage almost anyone to check out.
As a long-time (mostly otome) visual novel player, I can safely say that this is such a hidden gem! The soundtrack is hauntingly beautiful and the storyline is fantastic. I personally like how the story isn't mainly driven by romancing the love interests and how it has a darker theme compared to a lot of other visual novels I've played. The artwork and overall quality is amazing, especially considering that this is an indie game! I truly believe that this masterpiece is on par with Otomate titles, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the story!
