Forever Gold is a text-heavy dark fantasy roleplaying game. Assume the life of Duke Quintrell Barghur, a pariah of high birth, and grapple with your unlikely rise to political relevancy as the thriving alliance between Vestur's three kingdoms comes under strain. Achieve, fail, and despair as you navigate the frustrations of the Tri-Kingdom court and negotiate precarious double-binds. Halfway between visual novel and interactive fiction, Forever Gold is a unique multimedia experience incorporating artwork and writing with RPG mechanics such as skill systems, dice rolls, and lasting narrative decisions. It is intended for mature audiences.
You are second son of the Northern Kingdom. A chain of unlikely events leaves you and your childhood friend, Prince Lucas of the Middle Kingdom, heading the Fifth Prince's Convoy instead of your respective elder brothers. Your elder brothers are well-liked and well-respected. The two of you, however, are not. Lucas is a bundle of nerves scraped raw by his family's fealty to stagnation. You were born with a curse which condemns its bearers to a long life plagued by misfortune. The series of mishaps that is your life has left you shunned: a criminal banned from conduction, working a job unfit for a man of your birth for the sake of keeping you busy and away from the public eye. Now you are to represent the Northern throne.
