Play Overview
Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit (2022) is a point-and-click story game where you discover the truth behind a family secret. You explore real European locations for clues about an ancient relic to which your family is somehow linked. It's like other point-and-click adventures, but with a historically seated European mystery to solve.
You play as Milda, the recipient of your late grandfather's inheritance - a shabby house in Lithuania that contains certain documents. An anonymous villain quickly tracks you down and threatens you, trying to get them off your hands. You must act quickly to discover the true value behind your gift while defending them. You click around the screen to uncover clues, interact with people you meet and use items you find to progress.
As you progress, puzzles become difficult and the villain gets hot on your heels. Every piece of information is useful, so it's important to search everywhere in an area for the information you need to solve particularly tricky puzzles to untangle your family's mysterious treasures. Some people you meet can be unwilling to help you, leading to side quests to earn their favour.
The result is a charming, well-crafted adventure, with beautiful painted backgrounds. It's a fun adventure which involves authentic European architecture and history.
