Reviews
- Highly creative and fun game that allows players to create medieval-style illuminated manuscripts with a large variety of assets.
- Relaxing and cozy gameplay with both a story-driven mode offering funny and engaging commissions, and a sandbox mode for open-ended creativity.
- Beautiful, historically inspired art style paired with intuitive drag-and-drop mechanics accessible for players regardless of artistic skill.
- Lacks certain quality-of-life features such as saving multiple sandbox projects, grouping assets, and searchable or labeled sketch libraries which can hinder creativity flow.
- Some interface issues like confusing button layouts and limited resizing/scaling options for artwork elements.
- Sandbox mode limitations including inability to edit completed pieces or have multiple ongoing works, plus a smaller asset/color selection compared to story mode.
story
159 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story mode offers a charming, humorous, and quirky medieval narrative centered on political intrigue between a king and queen, filled with amusing quests that inspire creativity without being restrictive. It effectively balances structured gameplay with open-ended artistic freedom, providing engaging character-driven prompts that complement the expansive sandbox mode. Overall, the story is lighthearted, cleverly written, and keeps players invested while encouraging imaginative expression.
“The game cleverly tells the story of an embittered kingdom caught in the politics between the king and queen, and its subjects.”
“The main plot with the queen and king and their fraught relationship is hilarious, the banter with their aides equally so, but it also hides a genuinely shocking twist about yourself and the rulers themselves.”
“As I didn't just get a fun new intuitive art tool to mess around with, but an entire 30 hours worth of story campaign that was both relaxing and immersively educational, which was impressive as I was expecting 10 hours of story at most but instead got addicted to royal drama and keeping up with the weird events happening with the other clients too.”
“In the story mode, you get requests from patrons to create an artwork that fits their theme, but after the first few, it actually felt like I was working, like a chore, not playing a game.”
“I really enjoyed it for the first 10 hours but then the quests started to require too much complexity and I got bored.”
“The biggest problems with it are unclear language around how to fulfill certain quest criteria and the lack of clear tags on what certain items represent or under which tab to find them - a search function would have been helpful when buying or searching sketches I already own.”
