Empress Game - Part 2 v0.5 is not a finished product—it is a vertical slice of what Koyot Genius intends the full game to be. Consequently, there are rough edges.

The Premise: The aging Empress of the Solari Dominion is dying. Without a clear heir, the noble houses have turned the imperial court into a viper’s nest of seduction, betrayal, and assassination. The player character, an exiled military tactician, is recalled to the capital under mysterious circumstances. Your goal?
