Forsaken Throne -v0.16- By Smalltowngames Direct

SmallTownGames has a reputation for writing morally grey love interests. In v0.16, the "Warden" path (Captain Elara Vance) receives her second dedicated lewd scene. Without spoilers, the scene occurs during the battle, mixing violence with intimacy in a way that fits the desperate tone of the game. It is a stark contrast to the "Maiden" route, which remains pure and courtly.

  • Developer response: Patch notes indicate fixes are planned for v0.16a.

    • Forsaken Throne is an adult visual novel (AVN) developed by SmallTownGames, a studio known for blending high-fantasy elements with mature, choice-driven storytelling. Version 0.16 represents a significant milestone in the game’s development cycle, expanding both the political intrigue and the relationship mechanics.

    In this game, you step into the boots of a disgraced prince—or a cunning usurper—depending on your early choices. After your family’s mysterious downfall, you are the last heir to a crumbling kingdom. You must reclaim your throne, but every alliance comes with a price. Forsaken Throne -v0.16- By SmallTownGames

    Unlike kinetic novels, Forsaken Throne features light resource management and stat checks (Might, Wits, Guile, Shadow). v0.16 introduces a new "Desperation" mechanic: if your resources (food, gold, morale) fall too low, you are forced to take bandit contracts or bargain with dark entities, which alienates your noble allies.

    The save import feature works seamlessly – you can carry over your end-game save from v0.15. However, SmallTownGames warns that a "hard reset" may be required for v0.17 due to an engine upgrade. New players can enjoy a "Recap Cinematic" that summarizes the previous 15 versions in a 10-minute narrated slideshow. SmallTownGames has a reputation for writing morally grey

    What sets SmallTownGames apart is the writing quality. While many adult VNs rely on poor translations, Forsaken Throne features nuanced English dialogue, with distinct accents for different regions of the fantasy world. Version 0.16 includes a glossary of terms (accessible via the pause menu), a nod to epic fantasy novels.

    As an adult RPG, Forsaken Throne relies on a mix of Visual Novel storytelling and RPG elements.
