You are the kingdom’s brightest scholar— sharp of mind, relentless in your pursuit of truth, and sworn by oath to serve the Crown. Your word carries weight in court, your counsel sought in matters both arcane and political. For your unmatched intellect, you have been granted the title Seeker of Truths.

 Now, something beyond reason is unfolding across the land. People are vanishing— entire households gone overnight, their homes left perfectly intact. Meals sit untouched,  chairs are pulled out, yet no footprints mark the dusty floors.

  One by one, they simply disappear.

The young King grows increasingly anxious, fearing enemies hidden within his walls and shadows creeping into his court. With trusted men lost and options dwindling,  he sees only one path to safety.

he turns to you with a desperate request: uncover the secrets of immortality. 

But as your search begins, a presence stirs— unseen, ancient, and already watching. Long before you looked for it… it had already found you.

Anselm, The King’s Blade, is the pride of Elmric— sharp, composed, and devastatingly precise.  His name is spoken with awe in courts and on battlefields alike, a legend of unmatched skill and unwavering loyalty.  In the royal court, he is a symbol of power, the man who wins wars before they begin. 

But to the unfortunate few, he is known by another name:

 The Guillotine.



There’s a haunting warmth in his voice—each word wrapped in devotion, shaped only for your ears.

Your name slips from his lips like an unspoken vow, quiet and final—his, and his alone.

And when the silence returns, it carries his presence like a shadow just out of sight. He’s not searching for you.

  He’s waiting for you to find him.

This game is peak asl

It looks like Ai 

(1 edit) (+1)(-28)

I see you’re getting a lot of downvotes already, but honestly, I was thinking the exact same thing. It’s definitely a sensitive topic, so I hope the conversation stays respectful.

*edit: Just to clarify, I’m not saying everything is AI-generated. Some parts definitely look hand-drawn. It feels like maybe some AI-generated elements were used as a base and then refined by hand. I’m just curious because the art style shifts stood out to me.

(+20)

Calling out artists without evidence doesn’t make you guys some kind of hero. 

AI can't replicate consistent expression or a personal, evolving art style the way real artists can. there would be inconsistencies in all the sprites art style.

If you’re going to accuse someone of using AI, you better have actual proof. Otherwise, you’re just disrespecting someone’s hard work and shutting down any chance of a respectful conversation. This kind of behavior helps no one. 

Also, coming on to comment on someone's game without even playing is pretty low. 

(+1)(-11)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. To clarify, again, no one here is outright accusing the artist of anything. We're simply noticing inconsistencies in the art style and wondering about their cause without jumping to immediate conclusions.

Also, commenting on the visuals that are publicly displayed on this very game page... doesn't require playing the game. The screenshots are right there for anyone to see.

You mentioned "there would be inconsistencies in all the sprites art style", and, well... I am noticing inconsistencies, specifically in Anselm's sprite.

I understand that this is a sensitive topic, but demanding 'proof' and dismissing curiosity about AI use doesn't really help anyone.

(+9)

You're jumping to conclusions when you haven’t even seen the in-game sprites. You do realize there’s a resolution limit on Itchio screenshots, right? They don’t always represent the artwork accurately—the screenshots really don’t do them justice.

Also, could you clarify what exactly you think is so different about the sprites? They all have different facial expressions,  but they clearly share the same art style. If you're referring to the supposed difference between Anselm's sprite and his CG, keep in mind that CGs usually include scene-specific lighting, mood, or effects, which naturally makes them look a bit different. 

(-6)

I'm not jumping to conclusions. I have seen the in-game sprites. I'm not sure why you assumed that I haven't tried out the game, but okay. I tried it, and I uninstalled it after my suspicions grew too strong. 

You're defending the game strongly, but I haven't accused the artist of anything.  I have a game here on itch.io myself and believe me, I know all about the resolutions of every single image that can be uploaded. This is a ridiculous argument.

I'll gladly clarify.  No, I'm not talking about the difference between sprite and CG. The following are all my observations and opinions.

  1. Anselm's armor has a very different painting style (with visible, rough brush strokes) compared to King Anduin's clothing, which looks softer and more painterly.
  2. His hair is especially odd. The top and back have a texture that strongly resembles typical AI art, but the lower parts of the bangs have rough lines that seem drawn on top and by hand, inconsistent with the rest.
  3. The neck area. Compare Anselm's neck in the screenshot with King Anduin while he's donning armor, to the one where he's alone in the library area. The hair doesn't connect properly to the base of the neck in the latter, as if that area was repainted.

Those are my specific observations. I'm not an expert and have never claimed to be. I don't, however, want to support AI art in any way, hence my curiosity and questioning of the things I deem suspicious.

(-10)

I'll give the artist credit because they have made good pieces in the past. But I'll agree with the previous commenter stating there may have been elements of AI generation involved in the games creation.

Please keep in mind I'm also coming from the perspective that AI has been able to replicate this specific art style very well.

Zamnn, this looks SO GOOD!! But I know better than to play it rn and die from curiosity untill the next update :( I have a strong feeling that the full vers won't be free tho based on the quality

Clyde looks just like my type)
Can't wait for the full version)

beautiful, amazing, haunting, i absolutely devoured this demo and cannot wait to see more! lemme smooch the creepy voice idk if he's evil i love a devoted ghoul<3

I should've known better than to play this at 3am😭

AAAA—this is absolutely a masterpiece! I can’t wait to see what’s coming next!!
I’m a little too excited, just let me start from this! 

UI design, page layout, and font choices are all so pleasing to the eye. They made it incredibly easy to stay immersed in both the story and visuals.
Next, the music, sound effects, and scene direction—they all blended so well into the atmosphere. The background music was perfectly chosen for each moment, and the sound effects—like opening/closing doors or whispering voices—really deepened the sense of immersion. (Some of the daily-life tracks felt like old friends to me, haha, still wonderful to hear! The door sound effect when leaving the King’s room startled me the first —I thought it was a scream, oops...  My favorite BGM is the one that plays during the journey—so relaxing and soothing.)

The text effects, like the shifting between white and red or the glitch-style distortions, were also used to convey danger and tension. I was scared =w= but  better than a jumpscare...

Now onto the characters—they are so well drawn! Delicate and beautiful. I was especially impressed by the Old King’s eyes during those oppressive scenes with the protagonist, and Anselm’s expressions—his subtle smirk when he’s happy or angry were just unforgettable.

Finally, the story itself—I saved this for last because it’s the part I loved the most.
With just a few strokes, you set up the world and the protagonist’s current situation clearly and effectively. The tone, the atmosphere, and the protagonist’s goal are all well established from the beginning. The characters—King Anduin, Anselm, Clyde, and the mysterious ???—are vivid and full of life.
Beyond the above amazing contents, what surprised me even more was how Choices that matter actually meant what it said! The protagonist’s decisions genuinely impact the story’s direction. I originally intended to collect all the content, so I saved at each choice point and tried out different options—and wow, I didn’t expect so many branching paths and new texts! Now I’m completely hooked and incredibly curious about what’s going to happen next.

Thank you so much for this demo! Wishing you the very best for the rest of the development—you’ve already created something amazing! ❤️❤️

My goodness, where do I even begin? Everything about this was incredible and earned itself a spot right into my top ten. 

The game starts off so strongly with immaculate lore and worldbuilding that leaves the player so intrigued and yearning for discovery. 

And the characters are all written so well with such distinct tones of voice and personalities. King Anduin was encapsulated so perfectly in the short moment we met him and same with Clyde, the entity and of course Anselm. Their personalities were so strong, unique and well written. They all played their parts in the story so so well. And I liked how even in some of the scarier moments and scenes you treated the topics with respect and addressed them so well! Very deeply appreciated ❤ 

I also adored the art immensely, the sprites are some of the prettiest ones I have ever seen and the expressions are so well down, they're especially soft and reverent for Anselm which I loved. I really liked the canvas painting style backgrounds as well and the UI complimented the game so so well. Everything lent it's strength into what was ultimately a very lovely package. 

Another thing to shoutout is the choice of music, it was so well suited for all the scenes and even the sound design for the SFX was masterfully done! It was placed so well and in the right moments which made the atmospheric horror a divine experience even though I was scared LOL. 

You have absolutely outdone yourself, from beginning to end I was enraptured and this was joy to experience and play. I felt so lucky that I was sitting here able to play something like this! 

Thank you so much for the experience and for sharing a part of your heart with us! I can't wait for the full release and you'll have all the support I can give and then some! I ended up posting my playthrough to youtube here and a short form video on my tiktok and IG to hopefully spread the word about this gorgeous game. 

Best of luck with development and thank you so so much for the delightful game. ❤
