About the Game

The Mystery of the Sacred King is a thrilling investigation puzzle game set in an original fictional world, where you uncover a fictional culture by solving anthropological riddles and filling in missing text.

Study the culture 

Who swallowed the sun? How to revoke a sacred decree? What to do with the dead if he refuses to die? Analyze the customs of an entirely original culture, interpret myths, and folklore texts. Inspect costumes, objects, and architecture to find clues.

Save lives 

Untangle cases where devious plots intertwine with cruel traditions. Save the wrongfully convicted from execution. Expose conspiracies before they lead to dire consequences. 

Uncover the mystery 

Many years ago, the Sacred King cast you into exile. Since then, the people have suffered without their protector, and the nobility has become mired in their own intrigues. The time has come to return and fulfill your duty.
