About the Story

The Further Adventures Of The King Who Wanted To Die But Whose Subjects Just Weren't Ready To Let Him Go…

You’re alive. Again. And not too happy about it. During your current period of deadness, your son has made a real hash of things, the High Chancellor has been butchering your citizens left, right and centre, and everything else... well, that’s not looking too good either. So you’re back to life (again) unfortunately.

Well, part of you anyway...

It's creative and its fun. However, I found the interactivity frustrating, and so I never completely engaged with the writing and the concept.
