Developer Brave At Night's striking pixel art kingdom management sim, Yes, Your Grace, might still be some way off its 2020 release, but those eager to experience it have a chance to do so from this Friday, 15th November, when the game's previously teased beta gets underway.
Yes, Your Grace casts players as the put-upon King Eryk, charging them with juggling their royal responsibilities in order to bring peace to the medieval kingdom of Davern. Chiefly, that involves listening to the plight of visiting petitioners - from kings and lords to penniless peasants - and deciding who deserves to walk away with some of the kingdom's gold and resources.
"There won't be enough for everyone," warns Brave At Night, "but those savvy enough may be able to work out who has the kingdom's best interests at heart."
