About this game

This epic reimagining of Arthurian legend takes you from humble life as an English squire with an attitude problem to a mythical dreamscape of possibilities, meeting many familiar (and not-so-familiar) faces along the way.

Arthur: A Retelling is a 30,000-word medieval adventure that allows you to play as as Arthur themself (the gender is up to you) as you discover your own path to greatness and decide what you want to be. Embark on a quest of self-discovery with thrilling action and plenty of romance along the way-- pick from straight, gay, or even more options.

Young Arthur is an unremarkable page apprenticed to Sir Kay in the Early Middle Ages in England. Their world gets turned upside down by the arrival of the eccentric magician Merlin, who takes the youth under his wing and sets them on a path to greatness. But there are other figures seeking to influence this child of prophecy…

From the loyal Bedivere to the lovely Guinevere to the enigmatic Rience, Arthur’s interactions with this expansive cast determine their ultimate destiny. Will they rule Britain as prophesied? Abandon morality entirely? Or take another option, entirely unforeseen? Only you can decide.

What are you waiting for? Camelot beckons…

Ratings and reviews

Not much to it, what *is* there is simply disjointed random ramblings. It reads like the first draft of a fanfiction someone wrote when they were 13. 2 stars because at least it's functional.

The description makes this sound like a interesting retelling of a classic tale, but it's not. It's a cynical parody of the Arthurian tale written in a style that thinks it's clever and witty but just comes across as juvenile and dumb.

Swapping genders and including Frankfurt ideological gender theory does nothing for your story but pander to fictitious ideals. A real shame because the originality you showed in breathing life into a Welsh classic had real promise. Maybe next time.
