Buy The Good People: Na Daoine Maithe PC key

The Good People: Na Daoine Maithe is a choice-driven historical fantasy visual novel inspired by Irish mythology and Celtic folklore. You play as a tenant farmer in mid-19th-century Ireland who, after being robbed by the roadside, is drawn into the affairs of fairies and the war-torn land of Tír na nÓg. Once unified, Tír na nÓg is now divided between the Seelie and Unseelie Courts. You can seek to escape and return home with your stolen belongings, though your path may lead elsewhere.

The courts and their people

You meet six members of the Tuatha Dé Danann, or “Tribe of the Goddess Danu,” divided equally between the rival courts. Fairies have their own agendas, so your choices about whom to trust, befriend or romance matter.

• Shae Féarglas: An honourable Seelie soldier searching for a lost princess.
• Keagan Máistirúin: The Seelie Court spymaster, who has many enemies.
• Aífe Ealabhàn: Queen of the Seelie, rumoured to be a usurper falsely ordained by the gods.
• Maeve Troiduair: An Unseelie folk hero endowed with great power.
• Flannán Mac Lugh: The newly ascended Unseelie King and son of Lugaid, the court’s infamous rebel leader.
• Robin Goodfellow: A shapeshifting Unseelie trickster of mysterious origins.

Shape your character

You choose your character’s nickname, pronouns and one of three default appearances. You can instead leave the character’s sprite blank or add your own artwork. You may also choose to discard the character’s True Name.

Routes and relationships

The story is released in volumes, with a recommended reading order that follows their release order. The available routes are Shae’s and Maeve’s, each over 70,000 words, along with a side story starring Shae’s sister, Brigid. Flannán’s and Aífe’s routes are also part of the story.

Routes offer romantic and platonic choices, so you can pursue friendship instead of romance. Both relationship paths can lead to a good or bad ending. All six characters can be romanced regardless of your main character’s identity, though some are asexual or on the aromantic spectrum, which can affect aspects of their romances. The cast consists of two men, two women and two non-binary characters.

Irish language and secrets

Characters sometimes speak Gaeilge, the Irish language. These passages link to an in-game translation tool with voice work by Gaeilgeoir Nigel McKeon. The story also contains secrets to uncover and horse-related mischief.
