About this game

Defend your magical city from an invading army! Use swords, spells, and strategy to save your people, lead them to glory, and build a legacy for the ages.

"The Siege of Treboulain" is a 280,000-word interactive epic fantasy novel by Jed Herne. It’s entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Treboulain rests on the power of arborturgy, the magic that governs plants and all growing things. With the recent death of your mother, the Queen, you now sit on the Throne of Thorns, the nightmarish chair of royalty that extracts blood from whoever dares to sit upon it.

When a ruthless army of horse warriors besieges the towering walls of Treboulain, will you take to the walls yourself, inspiring the soldiers with your own martial might and stirring speeches? Will you command the defense from a distance, using your sharp tactical mind? Or will you draw upon the vast powers of nature itself, strangling your enemies with barbed vines?

Should you fill the moat with traps, train elite magicians, or recruit mercenaries for a surprise attack? How will you manage your dwindling resources? And what will you do when deadly conspiracies begin to come to light, threatening to shake your reign--and your city--to its very core?

• Play as male, female, or non-binary; gay, straight, bi, or asexual.
• Choose from three distinct backstories – magician, warrior, or scholar – and lend your skills to the defense of your city.
• Command soldiers, plan tactics, and fight in everything from one-on-one duels to massive, history-shaking battles.
• Wield the magic of plants through the art of arborturgy.
• Manage the city’s politics, balancing the conflicting needs of priests, merchants, and commoners against those of the military.
• Uncover the secrets of the past through flashbacks to learn more about your city and your foe.
• Find love or friendship with a brave warrior, a wise priestess, a cunning merchant, or a talented artist.

Let the legends say that this was Treboulain's bravest hour!

Ratings and reviews

I wanted to like this one. I really did. The first playthrough was spectacular. But after that... turns out there's very little variations. The romance dialogues are 99% the same no matter who you go with, the story barely alters at your decisions, and if you fail big plot moments you'll be pushed through anyway. The lack of actual choice and and change makes the replayability pretty bad. For $4, that's okay. But that's when it's cut half off. Don't get it for full price. Not worth it remotely.

Excellent! Easily one of my new favorites. The characters are good, romance is very solid, the story flows well and has good pacing. Loved the use of plant magic. The story is also very complete. It hits a natural climax and still makes time for a epilogue that ties everything together. The stat system isnt overly complicated but does require some careful balancing as certain physical and mental skills are complementary as are certain mindsets. Still, Im extremely impressed and demand a sequel.

Obviously it isn't perfect but considering how rough it's been from time to time to dwelve into a compelling story, this one took the cake. It reminded me of the great tournament and even though it was mainly a straight forward narrative with not too many large decisions it still reflected a great story. Really enjoyed it, yall did great, and it wasn't short so props to the crew, hoping you lot make a sequel or more like this. Also dialog is great
