Melancholy Republic

Melancholy Republic is a story-driven game set in the city-state of Lorna. You play as Claire Lockridge, an ambitious but flawed new senator elected to the Central Parliament after her father’s assassination. With the help of her two aides and an unlikely friendship with Marianne, known as the “Armoured Princess,” Claire tries to end corruption, prevent a looming war and uncover who killed her father. The people she meets and the lives she affects change the course of history.

The city of Lorna

You explore Lorna’s environments, from the halls of parliament to its vast slum city, and speak with hundreds of characters. The story follows Claire and Marianne through a detailed political and cultural world, as they face conspiracies and the struggles of the people around them. Illustrations and artwork tell this mature, character-driven tale.

Music and story

The game features a varied original soundtrack, including several tracks recorded live with a 73-piece symphonic orchestra. Its story contains mature themes and scenes.
