Your Royal Gayness

Such a refreshing and fun experience! Your Royal Gayness combines humor with clever gameplay, making for an unforgettable adventure. The writing is fantastic, and the characters are lovable. Loved every minute!

Cute little game with easy mechanics, adorable story and replay value. I finished one run through but I will go through it again to explore other options.

Can't manually save while it's a management game I was expecting to play this a few days at a time when I had some time to kill. Apparently you can only save once every in-game week? Yeah. No, thank you.

Bardzo krótka gra opowiadająca o losach pewnego księcia, któremu zostało powierzone zadanie opiekowania się królestwem na czas nieobecności jego rodziców. Gra jest całkiem zabawna i mimo że zdaje się próbować nauczać o równości (co moim zdaniem nie do końca powinno mieć miejsce w grach wideo) to oferuje też niezłe zaplecze fabularne i aktywnościowe. Jest czemu poświęcać uwagę nawet jeśli tematy LGBT są dla kogoś obojętne. Mamy tu zarządzanie królestwem, rozwój postaci, no i oczywiście dating sim czego nie mogłoby zabraknąć w takim tytule. Podoba mi się, że nawet jak na tak skromną grę znalazło się tu miejsce na podejmowanie decyzji, kształtowanie linii fabularnej i kilka różnych zakończeń. Uważam, że można taką grę polecić każdej osobie nie mającej uprzedzeń. Zwłaszcza że przejście jej od początku do końca zajmuje raptem kilka godzin.

This was a really lovely game to play! One playthrough took me just a little over two hours, and accidentally becoming a beloved king with a boyfriend sticking to his guns and doing everything to pass equality laws ASAP was really cute. I can't attest for replayability values as it stands right now since I only got through the game once, but the management part of it wasn't much of a challenge either and seeing my counselors change attitudes towards me was lovely. I did find turning down advances all the time and only being able to save once a week pretty annoying, but nothing heinous that would stop me from playing again. As other reviewers have pointed out, its ideas feel scattered at times (I have no idea what the stats do nor do they really ever explain? Will I ever catch a fish???) and it can be a bit tone-deaf at times (I really do NOT enjoy having to have real life homophobia repeated to my face word by word in a game celebrating being gay, for example.) But overall, I definitely recommend giving it a go if you're looking for something nice and queer today.

3.5 stars. It's missing something. Maybe it's the fact that it's not actually a dating simulator, which is what I was expecting going in. Maybe it's the fact that no matter what ending you choose, they feel rather abrupt and unsatisfying. Maybe it's the ovely moralising idea that queer people should self sacrifice for the greater good, in spite of that being completely counter to the wish fulfilment promised by the premise - as if queer people don't have enough to sacrifice in real life. God, it sounds like I don't like this game. But, really, it was super easy and. It contained almost constant gameplay elements which made for a fast paced game through. I found myself staying up late to see what would happen next! The characters are super fun and nuanced, containing a diverse range of identities, from lizard wizards to nonbinary, bisexual spies, all of which provide parallels an interesting counter perspectives to our central coming out narrative. Overall, worth a play. It makes for a comfy, chill, and cuddly experience. (Gay cuddles!) Just don't go in expecting a masterpiece.

Once again, the woke games list has allowed me to find a wonderful gem of a game! I love managing stats and getting stressed out so I thought I might enjoy this game but, oh, i just LOVE IT SO MUCH! I really didn´t anticipate how much I would enjoy the writing and the characters! It´s also not as stressful as I thought it would be and honestly thats kind of nice? To play a game and just have a really really good time? I highly recommend this game, its wonderful! Anyway, spoilers hehe, [spoiler] I can´t believe I´m saying this but I´ve never been so happy to get a pamphlet from a cult before! Never have I ever played a game in which allowing a cult to continue existing was treated as even a remotely good choice! It´s just really nice and precious to have religious freedom tied to freedom in general <3 I also liked that a lesbian found me, after I made no effort to be subtle about my sexuality haha, that feels very realistic. And I liked the unicorn racists because, yeah, I can see that lol. Gotta use those dungeons for something! [/spoiler] Just so many cool things to see and do and all of it is interesting aaaa <3 I´m having such a fun time! <3
