Which will you choose: your beloved home country or the country you've been ordered to spy and destroy?

Broken Kingdom is a high fantasy interactive game with intrigue, politics, and betrayal. You play as Milan or Miklan Alde, a diplomatic envoy from a country rife with magic and turmoil and you are tasked to brokering unity between two tense nations.

Broken Kingdom is in development with the prologue beta set to release on April 26, 2023.

THE STORY

You play as Alde, a diplomatic envoy from the country of Veruna, set with the task of brokering peace with Agral, a country with tense relations with most of the neighboring countries. Under the surface, however, you are to collect and gather evidence of militaristic efforts from Agral to prevent another war against magic.

When you find Agral has more secrets than you could've imagined, you soon find more than you bargained for and fending yourself in a world that hates magic users and any of their kind. You find some unlikely – as well as likely – allies through your adventures as you traverse and decide the fate of these two countries.
