Daria: A Kingdom Simulator

Daria: A Kingdom Simulator is a 125,000-word, text-based interactive fantasy novel by Mike Walter, with no graphics or sound effects. Your choices shape the story as you build a nation from an initial vision and try to establish a lasting legacy. You can play as male, female or nonbinary, and return to the Lucidverse to take part in Daria’s history.

Rule your kingdom

Create noble offices, undertake large building projects and manage your subjects to help your nation grow. Daria shares a dynamic world with rival kingdoms, where diplomacy, warfare and the threat of subjugation shape your efforts to rule.

Develop your ruler

Choose to specialize as a virtuous or malevolent cleric, a fighter or a spell-casting wizard. Equip your ruler with newly acquired weapons and armor, and gather ten heroes, including an elven huntress, a dwarven prince, a halfling weapons-master, the Archmage of the Academy of Wizards and the Bishop of the Holy Four.

Battle and diplomacy

Use the game’s battle system to choose strategies and troop compositions against other nations, or negotiate with them through diplomacy. An endless arena-style tournament lets you and your heroes train in battle.

Game modes

Choose Easy, Normal or Hard; each difficulty affects many aspects of play. A functioning encyclopedia explains game concepts.
