Reign: Equestria by Cainiam

You are Princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria and you are not having a good year. With rumours of war with the gryphons, straining relationships with your former draconic allies and problems brewing between the nobles and commoners beneath you, holding onto your throne is going to be harder than ever. With your sister growing irritable and changelings infiltrating the palace you have nopony you can turn to or trust. It is up to you to make the decisions necessary to keep Equestria together during this time. It is up to you to balance your authority with powers abroad and internal, your popularity with the people, your wealth in Equestria's coffers and your security by the strength of your Guard. It is a dangerous tightrope you must walk, and a single slip could lead to a smelly, squishy end. An ignoble fate for a Princess.

This is a 'Reigns' style Gamebook text adventure made in Quest with writing and programming by myself, Cainiam, and with animations and ideas fed in by my collaborator, Squashed Flat. This game is not designed to be beaten first time. It will take a mixture of luck, knowledge and reading comprehension to lead Celestia to victory. Every loss will lead to a reward in its own right though thanks to Squashed Flat's excellent animations.

The game works best when downloaded. You can download the game file on this page from the 'Download File' button beneath the 'Plays' section beneath my User icon or by copying this link into your URL: https://textadventures.co.uk/games/download/g4hmzzzbbku4zls4xkhxoa
You can download the Quest Client from this page: https://textadventures.co.uk/quest/desktop

The online version is functional on browser and mobile, however the game will time out if the window is left open and not interacted with for a period of time. I have also had random hang ups and freezes reported with the online version which are down to the client and not something I can sort out. The downloaded version works better and enables saving, but due to how quick most runs are the online version is viable.
