The Sword of Rhivenia
The War of Three Brothers, which took place ten years ago, changed the unknown fate of Rhivenia. The Sword chose Prince Charles to rule; however, his brothers dared to go against its choice. Prince Charles gained victory over his brothers, who were the victims of their greed. Executing all the traitors, he strengthened his reign and became the rightful king of three kingdoms. He’s been living a peaceful life with his two wives and four children until an unexpected enemy shows up.
You play as one of the heirs, who may be chosen by the Sword once King Charles dies. Are you worthy of the throne? Or do your siblings deserve it more than you do? What kind of heir will you be?

A typical text-adventure game, really. A complaint I have is that the pacing often felt inconsistent.
The end is very abrupt, also. Most likely to set up for a sequel, on which there has been no news for a while. Play with that in mind. Other than that, a great story.

This is an enjoyable read, though it certainly shares a flaw with many titles published by Hosted Games insofar as it was intended by the author to be the first in a series. A series is all well and good but the main conflict in the story, or the main plot arc, should at least be resolved in the first book. A war looms over most of this story but never actually comes; that was reserved for the next book.
I think the author recognizes some of the shortcomings here, as they are in the midst of a rewrite. I've read the first four chapters of the rewrite and it's been significantly improved, I think.
With that being said, I think in its current form it is still an excellent read, and enjoyable. I like all of the siblings here, and there were several characters who I liked quite a lot; I liked Leia from the first moment, and was hoping to get a scene with her and my future wife, Lena. Perhaps in the rewrite...
This is certainly in the top 10% of titles published by Hosted Games.

I have played many of these games made by hosted and this one is the best one out there, the writing is great and the relationships feel real its a shame the developer stopped making part 2 hopefully she continues it because it has the potential
to be even better than the first one.
Link for the start of part 2

Decent Game favorite moments involved Marrying Richard off to steal his crush from him and killing his uncle . 8/10 needs more sad Richard
