I'm confused... were they trapped in a fairytale land or it's all metaphorical?
[Spoilers]
The knight was a girl who didn't know she was a girl? (why?) Where did the new queen come from? Where did they end up in the end?
Well, I enjoyed the writing and the narration, it was nice!
Hi! The Kingdom is cursed to be a place where lies grew to the point they become "the reality". The game is meant to be a commentary on LGBT people having to lie and fake what they are not, many times even to themselves.
The princess is gay, but inside the kingdom, she doesn't realize it (because magic) and the knight is a woman.
The Queen came from outside the kingdom and married the King, eventually, she also is lost in the lies.
Where do they end up? Outside the kingdom, where exactly...? idonow, somewhere where they can be free from the lies.
I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
I see, so it was all metaphorical and LGBT-related. Thank you for replying!
