In this stand-alone story, players choose whether to play as a male or female hero and meet a multitude of potential suitors and other lovable townspeople. As a newly appointed prince or princess, one performs royal duties by issuing orders to make the city prosperous, or by taking a more relaxed approach to governance by growing crops and helping the townspeople.
If a dungeon adventure is on the daily schedule, a wide range of weapons and magic can be manufactured or purchased for the fight against dangerous enemies – companions or friendly monsters can also support the player on his travels.
