This game is a sequel to the ‘The Rose of Segunda’ – please visit the page here ( https://blackcrosstaylor.itch.io/tros) for more details.
***
Two years after the events of ‘Rose’, Segunda is on the brink of civil war. 
The disgraced House Stavizzi and the Royal House of Vilquine have been gathered at the city of Garllucio for peace talks in a last ditch attempt to avoid the looming bloodshed. 
Pick up the story as Iolanthe di Parisi and navigate this new world of political intrigue and double-dealing.
The game will feature:

• Approx. 1,200,000 words (twelve times the length of ‘The Rose of Segunda) over seven character routes
• Nine new ‘skills’ for Iolanthe, as well as retaining the nine from the previous game
• Begin the game with your current lover or remain loveless to pursue one of the two new love interests: Sir Mathys Aurele or Ambassador Vesela Brovik
• Nine returning characters from ‘Rose’ with updated outfits
• New character sprites (by the original artist) including the Duchess di Parisi, King Auguste of Segunda, Count Pieto Triste, Sir Mathys Aurele, Ambassador Vesela Brovik, Lord Marc De Souza and Cosima Venitti. 
• Fifteen love interest point-of-view scenes from ‘The Rose of Segunda’
• Twenty-three love interest point-of-view scenes from ‘The Thorns of War’
• Five scenes set between the games chosen by Kickstarter backers
