Duelist's Gambit

You are a wandering duelist, sworn to protect a nobleman whose love affair has placed him in grave danger. Your duty is clear—defend your charge and navigate the treacherous waters of courtly intrigue.

But honor and survival are rarely so simple.

As a fencing instructor, you must balance your daily life between earning a living, training students, and honing your skills. Teach noblemen who see swordplay as a game, take on private lessons to keep food on the table, and perhaps even guide your young protégé, Anna, as she desperately seeks to escape her life of a simple farmer.

Combat is inspired by the techniques of Joachim Meyer, a real 16th-century fencing master, with a complex, hard to master system that rewards tactical thinking and learning the mechanics. Every duel is a deadly dance where one or two strikes may decide your fate.

Will you uphold your duty, pursue your own ambitions, or be swallowed by the chaos of love and egos?
