About Mistwinter Bay
You are the sovereign of a town called Mistwinter Bay. The sovereign you create decides the fate of the town and everyone in it. Decide which buildings to build and who gets to live in town. Interact with your townsfolk by sending them on missions or hang out one-on-one. Each character is unique, with their own profession, personal history and strengths and weaknesses. Deal with international politics by befriending or becoming enemies with powerful foreign leaders. Watch the seasons pass as you are faced with a unique, random event every month. The way you decide to handle an event not only affects the ending of the event itself, but the entire town. Will you become a sovereign loved by all or will you adapt your choices to please someone in town – or perhaps someone across the sea?
Create the sovereign you want to be with the powerful character creator. Choose between a variety of body types, faces, hairstyles, outfits and accessories, with the ability to color most aspects freely. All options are available for all types of sovereigns.
The town of Mistwinter Bay is home to all sorts of people. There are three townsfolk at your service from the start, ready to be sent to handle tasks in events if you ask them to, but more can move in by expanding the town with additional buildings. You can hang out with the locals one-on-one, if your reputation is good enough. Eventually, this may even lead to marriage. Keep in mind, however, that they are their own individuals, with their own opinions, and they may like or dislike you based on your actions. If you are unlucky – or cruel – your actions may even spell their death.
At your assistance are your two advisers – Jacques and Sophia – who keep you updated on any and all things going on in Mistwinter Bay and beyond. Trust your advisers or go against them during random, unique events that occur every month. The choices you make in these events may affect individual townsfolk, the entire town, and maybe even places beyond it.
Mistwinter Bay can be expanded at your leisure – if you have the resources required. You decide which buildings to build and ultimately who lives in the town. Most buildings are associated with a character, so when a new building is built, you can expect a new face in town. If you are ever curious about who can move in to town, make sure to check out the local inn every season to see who has journeyed to Mistwinter Bay.
Mistwinter Bay is but a small town on a great continent full of colorful cultures and people. As a new player on the continental arena, you get the chance to meet and interact with some of the most powerful people on the continent of Hruminus. If you play your cards right, you may gain powerful allies – maybe even more than that.
If you have found your true love, you may start a family together by adopting one of four children. Every child has their own personality and your interactions with them will shape their future – and by extension, the future of Mistwinter Bay.

[h2] An Impressively fleshed out text based RPG [/h2] Despite looking like a high school students first project[spoiler] Adventure Quest [/spoiler]this game delivers where it counts the most. It would benefit more from a lower price so waiting for a sale is advised. [b] + [/b]Well written characters and there's alot of them [b] + [/b]In depth lore for each country and race [b] + [/b]Original fantasy world with some (new to me) elements [b] + [/b]Realistic and fun political system [b] - [/b]City management is great in the early game, but too easy to hit post scarcity mid/late game [b] - [/b]UI is dull [b] - [/b]Music is great but not enough variety so it's repetitive Really comes down to the fantastic writing and large cast of characters. I would highly recommend it if you enjoy text adventure games or political sims and want something to burn less than 20 hours.3 found this helpful
Exellent fantasy-political rpg simulation. You have to rule a town and prepare it over the course of five years for independence. The main focus of the game is a combination of resource-managment and personal relaitonship between characters with you having to choose how to use both to solve problems. The game is fantasy, wihle some parts are realistic, others are much more high than low fantasy, but overall its a great story. (with some clichés her and their, but never to much) Extremly well done, even more impressiv is that it was made by just two people. Has a great replay value, as there are a lot of events that are randomised at the start of the turn, so even reloading will not give you the same event as before. Around 15-50 Hours per playthrough, depending on how well you do. Price is absolutly justified.2 found this helpful
Honestly this game is great! I wish Steam had recommended it to me sooner. First off, this is a mostly visual novel game with some strategy involved. If you're looking for a good VN with a slight twist then you'll probably really like this game. One of my favorite things about this game is the worldbuilding. They made a very interesting world but it doesn't feel like it's all jammed down your throat at the beginning. Some games love early game info dumps but this isn't one of them. As you play through the game you learn more and more about the world. I'm on my second playthrough and there are still new things I'm learning. The game also has an encyclopedia if you ever want to learn more. The characters in this game are also great. When I first heard that there was over 30 romanceable characters I was worried that each character would get barely any screen time. Luckily they did a good job giving each character enough screen time to show off all of their charms. Also it's impossible to see all the characters in one playthrough. Each building is associated with one character and most of the build spots require you to choose between 2 different buildings. You'll need at least 2 pla…1 found this helpful
