I've been really looking forward to this update to the point I put it on my calender but when I updated my game it wouldnt let me play it. It took me to the folder it downloaded and I'm not sure what to do, I've been having the same issue with another game on here called The Bastard of Camelot but I was able to play it through my browser, however it won't let me plat A Tale of Crowns at all. 

(+1)

often has to do with cookie enabling and browser settings, bc it works for me just fine. and there's no download version for tale of crowns as of now.

YAAAAYYYY

hey cherry idk if u know this but there's a bug in the game that makes it impossible for me to do anyone but R's route. yeah right after they say "you found me" it's like something bugs out and forces the player to fall in love with them. no need to fix it though, just thought i'd give a heads up.


lol but seriously i love this game so so much. i love the magic system, i love the characters, and i ADORE how much variation there is. contrary to my joke, i actually did end doing another playthrough for A's route and they have me and the crown equally smitten. thank you so much for creating such a rich and interesting world and sharing it with us (and for FREE!!!)

(+7)

Thanks so much!! 💖💖

(+1)

But for real. R being all sweet and emotional there, and then just turning right around and destroying the others made me love them so much

(+3)

now when is the next chapter 😏

(+3)

I'm not emotionally ready, but I'm excited!

(+13)

I'm so excited for chapter 11 to be released today! Do you know many chapters this is estimated to be total? :) 

(+10)

Somewhere around ~25!!

(1 edit) (+8)

Is there a particular time for the chapter to get released? I have been waiting for like 2 hours and it’s gonna be the next day itself, I think I might not sleep way to freaking excited 

(1 edit) (+11)

Im so excited for ch11 ive been refreshing every hour. Im addicted!

(+5)

Me too Lol!

(+18)

I just started reading, but god I love Xelef. I'm legitimately cry laughing 😭

(+6)

Is there a possible poly route?

(+28)

Not yet! But I will be adding polyamorous routes for A/X, D/X, and A/R after the game has been finished 💖

(+7)

I can't wait! Thank you!

Just a thought. Spoilers perhaps, so caution on those who wish to read my comment. 2nd comment but damn I can't help it. I can't get enough.

I wonder if the mother is actually alive? Unless I skipped over it, MC did say that she didn't see her mother die or her body.. also I take it (at least for the female version) that X is bi? As my MCs are lesbian and FemX has it off with farmer boy at end of the current chapter - scratch that just read the FAQ.

 Still loving your game, your IF has been the best I've come across since Wayhaven Chronicles.

(+2)

does anyone know how I prevent myself from dying in chapter 4 no one came for meTT

(+1)

did you romance any of the LIs? like, did you flirt and show interest in anyone?

(+4)

Follow this guide posted by the author on their tumblr. You have to have enough points with one or two ROs for their route to be unlocked and for them to appear as options (the option that you choose is going to be the RO route you are locked to).

(4 edits) (+2)

I absolutely love the new dark theme, my eyes thank you!! Also: is there a way to please nobles, people and Kham at the same time? I get some locked dialogue options during diplomatic conversations, I'm feeling I'm gonna get a bad ending. T_T

Somehow someone always dies, no matter my choices so far. Is there a way to save everyone and not "fail"? I'm kinda suspecting there isn't a way to please everyone, perhaps we should always only focus on one and that defines what kind of ruler we are?

(1 edit) (+1)

if the ones dying are the assassins, I don't know the way (if there's any) to prevent it. but if it's the magus or anyone else, then I do know. I DON'T claim the steps I did as the perfect one, but at least I managed to avoid any major character death :")

I always choose to prioritize the public, be wary of the nobles, and just be kind but still cautious of the peris. however, this will result in one locked dialogue in court scene. so it's still flawed, but I don't think it's a complete failure lol still trying to find the perfect steps tho

if you want a walkthrough, just let me know! I'm not an expert but I'd like to help ^^ 

(+1)

No one has died on my routes except once with the Magus who knew her parents.

..

I celebrated with public and nobles, having the security spread out through both events. had the would be (laughable) assassin stay in the palace dungeon. Only one who died was the assassin. Magus and Enzo was injured.

(1 edit) (+5)

SPOILER

oh those are the exact steps I always do too! in which resulted Ezo got her arm broken and the magus got minor injuries. but I read on AToC Tumblr that that's the middle outcome. there's the best outcome where both Ezo and the magus are unharmed. so yeah, still trying to find the way to reach that outcome ^^

(+3)

Plz tell me if you are able to get the best outcome

(1 edit) (+3)

I am absolutely loving your game. I can't stop restarting just so I can see all options. Kudos to you. Quick question. If I support you on patreon will the early access be web based on is it downloadable?

(+2)

It's web-based for the early access as well!!

(1 edit) (+4)

I am absolutely in love with this. Coming from a South Asian culture it's wonderful to see more fantasy that is not simply western or far eastern in influence, and is giving me hope to complete my own 'poc fantasy/sci fi' twine games as well.

(Honestly as an avid but still learning Twine user I'm hungrily looking at every aspect of your design/interactivity. Once it's all complete and downloadable I'll have as much fun code diving as playing.)

ANYWAY excellent worldbuilding, wonderful characters, I want to befriend every single one of them. Love Tujo and Heval I would protect them with my life I wish them all happiness. Stressful political decisions, I can already tell I'm going to play this obsessively multiple times until I get good outcomes. Top work, keep it up!

(1 edit) (+8)

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY DO I KEEP HAVING “UNSTEADY RELATIONSHIP” WITH MY RO’s? AM I REALLY THAT UNSTABLE IN MY RELATIONSHIP??? PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO KEEP MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY RO STEADY 😭😭😭

(+9)

for X, they don't like it when we're being pushy. e.g. when they want to leave, then don't ask them to stay. instead be understanding and let them go. 

for D, it's the complete opposite. when they wish to leave, show them our reluctance to let them go.

for A, I had a smooth sailing relationship, so I can't really remember if I encountered any problems. just be understanding and things will be good. 

now, I just finished playing R route and I'm crying. our relationship was unsteady and I didn't manage to fix it even after reaching the end of chapter 10. so I can't offer any help for this one (yet). so sorryyyy 

if you're still having any difficulties with X/D/A route, just let me know! I'll retrace my steps for their routes and show you which choices to choose. good luck! :D

(+7)

hey!! for R route i think you mainly gotta show trust in them. i also think you gotta tell them to find the truth about the thing with their mentor,,  dunno if thats what mightve been getting you bad on their route or not, but for me that was the only thing messing me up

(1 edit) (+4)

SO THAT WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS! /sobbing/

my crown told R to find closure on my first play through and they stopped using their usual "my crown" right after and I was in PAIN

you, my friend, are a savior T^T my crown and R are now off to their honeymoon and I hope you have a wonderful week, and you get to eat your favorite food, and have a good good night sleep <3

(+3)

glad i could help!!! i had to replay a few times trying to find their solution because i was so distraught when i got the relationship unsteady and they stopped calling me "my crown," so i understand the pain </3

(+2)

right??? both me and my crown were CONFUSED at that moment ToT thanks to you I've completed all 4 ROs routes and now I can sleep :")

(+2)

The unsteady relationship with D’s route only started when I got into the part where the MC needs to attend the imperial court. Idk what I did wrong 😭

(+11)

here's what I did in D route

don't trust the peri princess but don't be hostile either, just be cautious

ask why they haven't visited the soldier who tried to assassinate us

when they bow, allow them

tell them both them and their parent weren't at fault

the unsteady stat might still appear for a moment, but as long as you do all of the above, and then choose to ask when will we see them again  when they're leaving (instead of wishing them well), you'll be good ^^

good luck and just let me know if you're still having trouble!

(+11)

I was trying to look for download button then I realized it's web based 💀

(+8)

Honestly i cant emphasise how good and immersive the writing style is. the story is honestly so engaging and interesting. 

Though i wish there was an easier way to change a few choices to test its outcome as rn you have to go through the entire thing over and over and over again to try out different combinations and the process is a bit brain numbing i will admit

(+4)

Just save each time you want to try different outcomes, that's what I do

(+3)

I love the game sm but I can't bring myself to play it T-T... help mee...

(+8)

I need some help, is there a guide or anything on what choices lead to what outcome? I've found that one option saves the scholar mage, but others die, and there's earlier options that can save them too, but you don't get the approval of the noble general. Is there a way to save everyone while gaining her approval? It hurts my heart knowing people died because of me qxq

(+3)

I know right? It's so painful to see people die because of my choices T-T.

(+1)

hey, I haven't encountered any death so thought maybe I could help, but I'm confused lol. which chapter and whose death are we talking about? and what noble general?

Same! I tried to prevent other characters die but yeah, ahaha T_T nooo. I'm still trying and re-playing tho. Looking through comment kinda helped as well.

(+4)

maybe I'm just dumb but is it possible to unlock the options for conversations with several characters? I'm wrecking my brain on how to talk with Xelara in the tarvern but I was only able to talk with Azad about the whole sea monster story.

(+8)

It's definitely possible!! Check the walkthrough, you can unlock each of the love interest's scenes (though you can only get a maximum of 3 names to show up at the end of CH4).

(+5)

Hi! I played the available chapters, maybe, three times during this weekend? I love the story so far! I love the romance, I love the politics, I love the way the dialogues changes depending on the stats. Every run is different from the other, and this is awesome!

I just finished the available D(ara) route and I have found this typo in the very last scene, during the chat with the Peri princess:

"As soon as his has completed his mission (...)"

And that's it. Love this game.

Tomorrow I will try the A route, it's the only one I have yet to try but I just know it will be juicy lol 

(+3)

Thanks for the kind comment 💖 Also for pointing out the typo, but in the future, please use the bug report form (linked in the game description) to let me know!! I'd rather avoid having the comment section clogged with typo/bug reports haha

(+6)

Hi, first I wanna say that I really like the game so far and that I love your writing.

One thing that I find difficult is the choices consequences and some hidden stats like the relationship with the public and with the nobles. It keeps saying I hadn't prioritised the public enough during the law office choice, even though I told about possible security breach before the coronation.


A simple suggestion I'd give is to show relationship choices consequences in a notification, like: "relationship with the public -2"

(+12)

Nah, makes the game too easy.

(+1)

Okie, Xelef is killing me rn with that last chapter, feel so betrayed after choosing him as my love interest that he'd put me in a position like that attacking people without any consideration.  AND not even reply to my letters, the audacity he has.  

(+8)

That last part is due to your Crown having a low romance with X. If you actually make the right romance choices, X will send letters back ;)

(+2)

I see. Probably cause I was too pushy..

(+8)

Rêzan literally owns my heart.. IM IN LOVE.

(+5)

love this game but i kind of wanted to romance tujo lol T^T

(+14)

Tûjo's looking for lowkey boyfriends he can live a quiet domestic life with, he's not even remotely attracted to the Crown unfortunately haha

(1 edit) (+5)

foaming at the mouth i love this game sososososo much!!! the writing is brilliant, the characters are dynamic and lovable, and the world building is intricate- yet understandable! it is quite literally a masterpiece of a game.

(+4)

Thanks so much, that's very kind 💖💖💖

(+3)

am i the only one who doesnt know how to play it or do we just play it in browser?

(+3)

just play in browser and do choices, you can save too in save button

(+1)

ok thanks! :

(+6)

Nothing, just me making abuncha ocs for each ro.

(+3)

dayum, i got the bad ending three times in a row on my journey to romance rezan...

(+15)

as a queer poc this games makes me so so happy. thank you for this. dara is my no .1 hopelessly devoted to him.

(+2)

another typo or / mis naming. As the wall forms, citizens pound their fists and slap their palms against it. One of them tries to climb over it, lifted by the others. You watch in amazement as the protester manages to haul their arms over the edge of the see-through wall, spotting you on your horse behind Rozerîn and crying out to you. i was behind ashti.

(+2)

thanks for the game. i love it and as a middle eastern myself, i love the mythology. thanks again from the bottom of my heart. i keep replaying it again and again. i love it. keep up the good work. the best of wishes to you.

(+3)

omg im gonna cy what does delal's letter say i love this game

(+10)

D's letter killed me 

(+7)

Good 😈

(1 edit)

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WE HAVEN'T GOT THE CHANCE TO READ D's LETTER YET AAAAAA I'M GONNA CRY 😭

We can read it but only when our relationship with D is at the highest level possible

I'm actually gonna cry, am i even gonna have a chance to read it... :'')

Can i ask you what did the letter says? Heheh just a couple of sentences or words not all of them.. please.. I'm really worried

So the letter basically said that D loves us and wants us to be more than just the Crown to them. There are also blood stains on it because D was hurt in the last chapter. But I really really don't think they will die because it wouldn't make sense, so I think there's nothing to worry about 

I'm crying, i only got a cliffhanger😭 am i ever gonna read that letter.. how do you even get to the highest level possible? Help i can't get it off my mind😭😭

It depends on what choices you selected when you talked to D. I could help you get to the highest level with them but i don't exactly remember all of the correct choices

(1 edit) (+2)

Just played this again recently and wanted to mention a couple things. Originally I played (and replayed) as a straight female, and romanced Dara and Azad. This time I decided to play as a masculine male MC.

First, is there any chance we could get the option before the game to choose the LI's gender? I say this because I'm playing a straight male who's interested in Rozerin and Xelara, but want to keep Dara and Azad as male (and not romance them). Yet when I choose to play as a straight male they automatically become female, and the only way I can get them gendered the way I'd prefer is to choose my MC as liking both genders (which isn't true).

Second, when Xelara captures the MC for the first time, she refers to my (as I envision, handsome) male MC as 'a beauty'. Is there any chance of coming up with a different term for male MC's like 'handsome' instead of 'beauty', or even give the reader a chance to dictate if their MC is more handsome or beautiful in the MC's own opinion?

(1 edit) (+36)

No, and no.

Additional note on your issue with your "masculine male" MC being called a beauty: Those are your personal hangups about how masculinity should be perceived, according to you. It does not reflect the characters' thoughts about masculinity, including the MC.

To the MC and other characters, being called and calling someone a 'beauty' or 'beautiful' is a perfectly gender-neutral compliment. To me as well, by the way, and "masculine men" I know also would be very flattered to be called beautiful. I'm not going to adjust to individual readers' tastes on what is an incredibly minor detail🤷🏽‍♀️

(+14)

I reached up to Chapter 10 in a span of two days and that says a lot ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ I'm absolutely in love with the story, the lore, the characters (all ofc but Dara *kissy faces*)!!!

Ah, this story has taken a piece of my heart with it ♡ Thank you so much for making such an amazing world!!

Now I shall go to a corner and cry myself to oblivion—maybe scour Tumblr to console my poor heart—until the next chapter drops ><

(+1)

Aww, thank you!! I'll try not to let you wait too long for the next chapter haha 💖

(+6)

First of all, let me congratulate you on making such an amazing VN! I can't wait for more of this beautiful VN, as always, I will keep an eye out for updates regarding to this VN.

(+1)

Thank you, it's appreciated!! 💖

(+13)

i am so in love with this game! 

You are such an outstanding writer, you brought me to another world and made me the happiest. In every chapter I feel like I'm slowly unwrapping my MC's deepest and truest identity.  I feel very connected to the characters, to an extent where I could personally feel their emotions.  I am looking forward to the next chapters! 

Thank you for building the AToC world! And thank you for pouring all of your passion into this IF, your dedication and creativeness is deeply appreciated. I just can't help but love your characters.

(+2)

Thanks so much for the kind comment!! 💖
