With absolutely no warning, Degica Games dropped an English version of Palais de Reine, available to play now!
The player acts as the young princess of a kingdom who never expected to ascend to the throne. In the last year, her father died, and her older brother went missing. During the coronation ceremony, some of the leaders of the 12 provinces in the kingdom say they don't believe she can lead the country, and refuse to give their allegiance.
The aim of the game is to win over enough leaders over a year to be accepted as the kingdom's ruler. This can be accomplished through different ways, including sending gifts, having your knights challenge the leaders to jousting competitions, and trying to assassinate them. You must also keep your kingdom fairly prosperous and quell civil disturbances and unrest.
While doing this, you can also 'romance' characters, including the 12 leaders and your knights.
Wow she can't catch a break can she? 🤣 The first part of that summary also gives me Fire Emblem Sacred Stones vibes oop
Originally a PS2 game from 2006/2007, it's now remastered for PC. As a sweet bonus, this game is on sale for 20% off until June 24th.
This game came out before I got into otome, so this is all new to me! It's interesting that this is part strategy simulation rather than straight VN, and there's a looooot of characters.
Unfortunately I'm not sure how I feel about the text box being so small?? Especially since the font for the Japanese version is much clearer and larger.
There seems to be a good lineup of seiyuu however, some notable examples being Hatano Wataru, Suwabe Junichi, Kishio Daisuke, and Tatsuhisa Suzuki just to name a few.
If you don't mind the dated look, it definitely seems like a game with a lot of replayability. 😊 It's also really interesting that the MC has such a high status in a royal court setting, something you don't see often enough in otome.
Poking around online, I did happen to find some walkthroughs and information in Japanese. But with the game being part strategy simulation and tons of characters and events it's... a lot. 😅 But to anyone planning to play, hopefully these will help a little in getting started.

Or when in doubt, trial and error 😉
Regardless, definitely gonna throw this game on my wishlist.
