The Silent Kingdom
The Silent Kingdom is a story-driven, otome RPG where player’s choices and interactions with other characters set the narrative.
The free demo available on Steam contains the Chapter 0 – Prologue. If you would like to see the full game, please support the Kickstarter campaign.
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 fundamental personality of her own; yet it is ultimately for you to decide just who she is and what she will become in this world. As the player, you’ll be free to choose the way she speaks to and perceives others, decide on her thoughts and emotions regarding various different events, and even select your own preferred name for her if you so wish. Every decision that falls into her hands – large or small – ultimately falls into yours.
- Roleplay experience.
Apart from the most impactful decisions in the story, many dialogue interactions will also contain choices that merely focus on immersion, allowing the player to establish exactly the kind of personality and emotions that they wish to give their princess. There is never any “correct” answer when it comes to interacting with others, just different answers.
- Romance.
The princess will have the ability to develop bonds and even romantic relationships with either of the two companion characters she’ll travel with. Although not required in order to see the story to its completion, the relationships you forge with other characters will play a pivotal role in its development.
*Please note: Pending the success of the Kickstarter campaign, it is the author’s intent to add one additional character to the roster of romanceable characters.
- Dark and emotional story.
In this world where every conflict and resolution are bathed in various shades of grey, tragedies and souls stained by corruption arise one after another. 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?
- In English and Spanish. Choose the language from the options menu.
- Length of the prologue: An hour and twenty minutes approximately.

I went into this game expecting nothing, but I got everything and more.
Can't wait to play the full version, when it releases.
Thank you for this amazing experience!

This game is incredibly well written and beautifully made — it had me completely hooked, and I honestly couldn’t stop playing! Amazing job, truly. I also love how much depth and charm both boys have; their personalities feel so alive and well-developed.
The only small thing that bothered me was having to save manually all the time. Sometimes you get caught up in a long dialogue and suddenly you’re 10 steps further into the story when you actually wanted to save in between. So definitely don’t forget to save!
One feature I’d absolutely love to see is a gallery in the main menu for all the unlocked images. I’d really enjoy being able to look through them again outside of the game, and it would make collecting them even more rewarding. :)

Das Spiel ist wirklich super! Die Story, die Atmosphäre, die Charaktere alles ist stimmig und wunderschön geschrieben. Ich wünschte mehr Entwickler würden sich ein Beispiel an diesem Spiel nehmen. Das einzige Manko ist die Steuerung, die ist leider nicht immer auf den Punkt genau bei den Bewegungen. Ansonsten kann ich nichts bemängeln und ich freue sehr über eine Fortsetzung!
Vielen Dank für dieses einzigartige Spiel <3
