I WAS A KING

A court-driven text-based political thriller in Joseon. Type decrees—your tone shapes consequences.

You are the King. Each day, the court brings two petitions. You answer by typing a decree—and your tone becomes part of the decision.

• Deterministic outcomes. Your choices trigger designed consequences (no hidden RNG).

• The court is the voice. AI is used to phrase and interpret court dialogue—not to decide outcomes.

What you do

• Read petitions from ministers, factions, and the people

• Issue decrees in natural language (with tone)

• Watch consequences unfold—sometimes immediately, sometimes later

• Survive crises: unrest, corruption, war pressure, and court politics

• Reach an ending that records your reign

Why it’s different

Most choice games ask what you choose.
I WAS A KING asks how you speak.
When words become law, responsibility changes.

Features

• 4-hour complete experience (no live service, no endless grind)

• Multiple endings and achievement-style reign records

• English & Korean support

• Designed to be replayed for different governing styles

Note on AI: Used only for court “voice” and phrasing. Outcomes are deterministic and authored.
