Updated 10/30/2022

This game is currently in development and this page is currently a work in progress. Stay tuned for more!

Check out the devlog to stay updated on current progress. Be warned, there will be spoilers!

Celestial Crowns is a fantasy/romance visual novel where you can get married, go to war, start a coup, learn magic, and so much more! 

Plot Summary

Set in a world where they worship the stars, play as the newly crowned Ruling Monarch of the kingdom of Laute. With the kingdom on unsteady ground after your father's recent assassination, the king of your neighbor Andromeda  has an offer you can’t ignore:

Accept his hand in marriage, or go to war.

Gameplay

A story-driven narrative with subtle stat-building aspects that allows a unique experience each playthrough.

Create your character: Players can adjust Terra's name and choose their body type, and pronouns.

Choose your personality: Your choices will add stats to the MCs personality. Mix and match different traits to shape different scenes and find your ending. Players will have choices based on 9 different traits. There can be as many as 9 different options for every choice encountered.

Find your affinity! Your spellcrafting  element will be determined by the choices you make in the common route. You can start to master ice, fire, earth, or lightning. Spellcrafting is featured more heavily in some routes than others.

3 unique routes: All 3 love interests have their own plot within the overarching story of Celestial Crowns. The routes will vary greatly, feature 30K+ (estimate) words of new content, and allow you to visit new locations and meet new characters.

Endless replayability: Your choices will continue to unlock different facets of the MCs personality, offering a variety of directions for the story to twist and turn. Choosing more or less of one type will not lock out others.

Oh, okay then. I thought there was something to download, but that's fine. I did read the dev log already and it sounds pretty good so far. Can't wait till there's something to try out!
