The County is Down

Free-text political crisis management game

A game jam experiment where the player advises a collapsing kingdom through free-text decisions and terminal commands.

A kingdom under pressure

With ten days before the gates fall, the player responds to daily crises as the Grand Advisor.

Intent-based strategy

The player writes advice in their own words. The parser translates intent into changes across treasury, military strength, public trust, and foreign alliances.

Terminal Scribe

Commands such as //rewrite, //menu, and //mute make the terminal part of the fiction as well as the interface.
