About Turncoat Chronicle

As the eldest child of the Usurper King, you were always meant to inherit your father's stolen throne. When the lost heir of the dynasty he ended resurfaces, bent on revenge, you face a difficult choice. Your father's enemies don't have to be your own.

Without allies, the Kidia heir has no hope of taking the throne back, but you could offer them that hope. By allying with his enemy against your father, you could expedite your inheritance and end a dynastic feud, all at once. Always assuming that the vengeful heir is willing to share royal power with you.

Turncoat Chronicle is a 180,000-word interactive novel by Hazel Gold. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
  • Play as male, female, nonbinary, or genderfluid; gay, straight, bi, asexual, or aromantic.
  • Befriend your family's oldest enemy and end a dynastic grudge.
  • Or, use your wiles to get close to your enemy and secretly plot against them.
  • Rely on your court connections and diplomatic skills to earn your enemy's trust.
  • Recruit a trustworthy ally to act as a royal doppelganger.
  • Guide your chosen consort as they acclimate to the demands of court life.
  • Aim for the crown, or pull the strings in secret, behind the scenes.
  • Plot your father's downfall by blade or poison.
  • Or, remain loyal to your father and strive to earn his approval.
  • Take a chance and trust the one who could betray you, and perhaps even fall in love.

Either way, your decisions will go down in history!

✦ AI summary

Turncoat Chronicle draws praise for its well-crafted branching narrative with morally complex decisions that feel justified across multiple routes, though opinions diverge sharply on execution. Critics point to confusing pacing, underdeveloped characters, abrupt endings, and a story that tries to cover too much ground without sufficient depth, making it difficult to follow despite competent writing. Players seem divided on whether it's worth playing, with some finding it engaging enough for multiple playthroughs while others describe it as forgettable or frustratingly incomplete.

Honestly really impressed with this one. The routes are interesting, and no matter what you do it feels like it is justifiable as being the "right" decision without really jumping through hoops to get there which I think is quite the feat to pull off when writing a more politics-oriented fantasy story. It's the perfect length to dive into multiple routes and see how they all play out, I highly recommend it.

Idk how this game has good reviews, it's bad writing a lame narrative and ends extremely abruptly. Unfortunately it took me just long enough that I can't get a refund.

eh. It's ok. About middle of the pack. It's competently written, but lacks any real heft or excitement. I'll forget it in about a day of reading it; but it's not terrible per se. Maybe I chose an uninspired branch?

Well. I would give it a neutral rating if i could. Its to well written to get a bad one and to confusing to get a good one. Its relativ short, just four chapters, but with three different paths, choosen in the first chapter. Theres just so much going on, so many new characters with unusual names, that it is very difficult to follow the story. Despite this, it seems always just skin-deep in terms of story. Also, the protagonist is older and experienced, wich makes them harder to relate to, as they have a backstory, but we see very little of it. However, unlike other games with this theme, it isnt just another Game of Thrones Clone, it has its own flavour.
