The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian is now available on Steam - become the one who changes the Empire!
Developer Schisma Games and publisher 101XP are pleased to announce that The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian is now available on Steam! Step into the role of the heir to a vast Empire and discover not only the power that comes with the crown, but also the burden it carries. Every decision you make will shape the future of the Empire. What kind of nation it will become, and what sacrifices it will demand, is yours to decide.
The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian is a dark narrative RPG with extensive branching paths, philosophical themes, and difficult moral dilemmas. As Prince Jerian of House Tempest, you must come to understand your realm and make countless difficult decisions that will shape not only the fragile balance of power within the Empire, but also the person you become.
Key Features
Rule the Empire
The burden of power falls upon Jerian's shoulders long before his coronation. The treasury is running dry, the Great Houses weave their intrigues, the Church stands divided, and the common people demand justice and freedom. You must navigate the competing interests of rival factions, forge powerful alliances, and make decisions that will determine whether the Empire descends into civil war.
Every Decision Matters
Every choice in Prince Jerian's life carries consequences. Your decisions will shape both the future of the Empire and the prince himself-his beliefs, his values, and his relationships with those around him. Personal desires, duty to House Tempest, and political necessity constantly collide, turning even the most private decisions into events that can alter the course of history.
Shape Your Character
The person Jerian becomes is entirely in your hands. He may grow into a ruthless ruler willing to crush all resistance in the name of order, a compassionate monarch who listens to the voice of the people, a steadfast guardian of tradition, or a bold reformer who places the Empire's future above its ancient laws. Yet the relentless pressure of power, inner conflict, and defiance of fate will leave their mark. With every decision, the prince will change-and his sanity may begin to unravel.
Live Your Own Story
Follow Jerian's journey from a child unaware of his destiny to the Emperor-the guardian of the ancient Pact between mortals and the unforgiving gods. Will you preserve a world where every person is bound to their Lot, or dare to reshape its very foundations? Countless branching paths, meaningful consequences, and multiple outcomes ensure that every playthrough tells a different story.
