Welcome to the crazy world of the Middle Ages, where nothing makes sense and chaos is king. It’s a time when God went on vacation, leaving humanity to deal with bonfires, plagues, wars, and every kind of disaster you can imagine. The only way to survive? Pray. No science, no medicine - just pray, and pray a lot. Meet Giovanni, a broke young guy with big heart. From the castles to the valleys of Medieval Italy, he’ll rise from a nobody to a king! But his journey is wild - he’ll be a winemaker, a soldier, an astronomer, and even a healer. Along the way, he’ll meet strange friends and enemies: a loyal monk, a creepy lion, a crazy inquisitor, and more. And! You can even play as these characters in extra episodes - yes, including God, who’s chilling on his vacation! We’re in the Middle Ages, a time of miracles. Enjoy.
