About the Game

Hear ye, hear ye! The Royal Court is going on a three-year expedition to study ruins of ancient importance! The King and his fellow diggers have sworn off any romantic entanglements, lest you end up in the stocks! This is purely a scientific pursuit, devoid of the carnal excuses of the flesh! While the body pines, the mind shall banquet!

Yeah, let's see how long that lasts.

Play as Hero, one of the King's fellow Not Grave Robbers as you explore the lost city of Elsinore, all the while ignoring the six romantic love interests that have been placed in your way so particular-like. It seems that the Princess of France and her three court maidens have also journeyed to this lost city in order to learn its secrets.

Each character that you choose to interact with has their own story for you to explore, and may or may not have a direct impact on other stories. Will you forsake love in order to be the best student/archeologist ever? Or will you forsake the thing last said in order to be the best kisser ever?

Gain Reputation with every character! Lose Reputation with every character! Try to please everyone!
