Royal Dental

Royal Dental is a story-driven dental simulation RPG. You play as Passus Pulpum, a peasant dentist with a toothpick and a goal of treating the people of Bocalia. Diagnose dental problems, perform treatments and rise through the kingdom’s social ranks, while deciding how to charge your patients. Your choices affect their happiness and treatment outcomes, as well as your progress.

Treat your patients

Each morning brings a lineup of patients, from peasants and servants to merchants and nobles. You diagnose ailments such as cavities, rotten teeth, fractures and gum infections, then choose how to handle each case: whether to use anesthetic, sanitize your tools, select an instrument and perform the procedure. You can waive the fee, charge a fair price or ask for as much as you can; the people of Bocalia talk about your choices.

Rise through Bocalia

Progress through five societal tiers, from muddy peasant villages to the Royal Palace. You unlock tools and advanced techniques, upgrade your clinic and complete Tooth Trials to earn permanent Wisdom Tooth Buffs. Your skill and decisions drive your rise from a poor dentist to an elite healer.

Shape each day

Time advances through actions, leaving you to decide how to spend each day. You can treat as many patients as you can handle; your reputation affects both how many arrive and how much they trust you. You can also visit the town square to buy tools, supplies, educational texts and clinic furniture, or study dental texts to improve your techniques.

Face the royal rivalry

Prince Daniel Silvertongue tries to undermine Passus as he advances. He spreads rumors, steals tools and disrupts the flow of patients, with his sabotage growing more aggressive as Passus rises through the ranks.

Passus’s final challenge is treating Princess Penelope Calahan, whose teeth are described as legendarily awful. Restoring her smile calls for the knowledge and upgraded tools he has acquired, as well as courage. The outcome affects both her fate and Passus’s.

Dental details

The game includes crunching extractions, patients gagging, choking and spitting, and the sounds of drills, scrapers and scalpels. Passus mutters, reacts and talks through his day, while each location in Bocalia has its own background music. Music, voice lines and sound effects can each be turned off or adjusted independently.

Other features include humorous encounters, memorable NPCs, a daily newspaper covering the people and royalty of Bocalia, and a UI- and text-driven design with stylized icons and character portraits.
