Cute Knight Kingdom Preview
Fans of casual role-playing games might remember a little indie gem from Hanako Games called Cute Knight. In the game, you had three years to guide a young orphan girl from the ages of 18 to 21 to decide what path her life would ultimately take. Would she become a hero and marry a handsome prince, or spend her days as a dumpy assistant cook getting bossed around in the kitchen? These were just two out of dozens of possible outcomes.
Hanako Games is working on a sequel called Cute Knight Kingdom that stays true to the original format while greatly expanding what you get to see and do.
