Inspired by One Thousand and One Nights, Sultan's Game is a narrative-driven survival card RPG set in an exotic court where deadly wagers, moral choices, and resource strategy collide in a tense, ever-shifting battle of wit and will. The Sultan, capricious and cruel, has devised a deadly game. As his minister, every card you draw must be fulfilled within seven days. Fail... and you lose your head. Indulgence, luxury, conquest, murder... each card embodies a dangerous desire, a ticking death sentence that also grants the freedom to act without consequence. Will you commit forbidden acts in its name... or cling to your principles in the face of ruin? In a court warped by power and human weakness, you must shape your own destiny with wisdom and foresight as your tools. There are no simple answers here, and every choice reshapes the story. Will you rise as the Sultan's favored confidant, or plot his assassination in the shadows? Will you remain loyal to love in desperate times, or surrender to forbidden desire? Will you stand tall as a fearless adventurer, or heed the whispers of dark gods? The game does not reward reckless indulgence—extreme cruelty breeds extreme hatred, and extreme consequences. Remember well, only those who hold fast to their own code can truly master their fate. As a turn-based resource management game, you'll deploy cards to command allies and assets, complete objectives, and build your power, accumulating wealth, intelligence, and equipment as you go. Recruit allies, expand your influence, and seize control—every run is different, with card order reshaping each playthrough, while both success and failure unlock new allies, gear, and strategies. Multiple endings await, each shaped by the choices you make. Will you seize absolute power, or rise to overthrow a tyrant? Will you retreat into a peaceful life with your beloved, or summon dark forces to bring the world to its knees? Even the same ending can be reached in countless ways, with hidden paths and secrets lying in wait for those bold enough to uncover them. Step forward... and let the game begin.
