About this game
Guide a medieval bloodline through centuries by arranging marriages across rival dynasties. Choosing between House Sapwood, House Wincestor, House Krankhaus, or House Salestor sets the foundation for the lineage, balancing dynastic priorities oriented around fertility, influence, health, and knowledge.
Survival hinges on expanding the family tree through successive generations. As kin marry into other houses, the game tracks simulated biology-based genes, letting underlying genotypes unfold and express visible phenotypes across new descendants.
Game features
- Mouse controls: Manage the family tree and arrange marriages using only mouse input.

Being able to zoom the family tree in and out without hassle would be great. On top of that, I really hope autosaving stops cutting into my gameplay...
having events appear on their own would keep things flowing way better for me. once the family expands, those little icons for family events become impossible to spot, and clicking through other house events while zooming around every other event gets to be a lot. simply showing a side pop-up without making me click would be awesome
I'm having a blast with this! Lately though, around 200~250 years into endless mode, none of the people marrying into my family ever actually appear. My current save isn't giving me a single new spouse.
Having some indicator showing the cause or manner of a character's death would be great. Every now and then, people end up dead right after an event clearly stated there were no casualties.
Cool idea for a bigger version of this! Having a world map or overview where I can actually watch events unfold—and check out the lands I supposedly own—would be awesome. Also, how long until I'm allowed to invade somebody?
Completely hooked on this, it's awesome and I'd genuinely love to see the idea fleshed out more. Honestly I'd drop money on it XD, I just want extra activities along the lines of bitlife. Like plenty of others pointed out, having kids is tough (never managed more than 3), finding partners before my heirs age out is rough, and events drag on while repeating themselves.…
Maybe it's just me, yet I'm having a super rough time with this even on easy mode. My characters just aren't reproducing. Stuff like feasts, weddings, and funerals eat up YEARS, leaving everybody way too old to have children!! One time I went through an entire courtship and marriage only for the husband to drop dead the instant they tied the knot. Plus I don't really care…
I'm running into an issue where titled characters never appear as courtship options, leaving me with no way to gain titles—is that intentional? P.S. Odds are I've just got terrible luck
A glitch I ran into as of 8-29-2026 locks out the pause and play buttons right after an autosave finishes, making them unclickable. It happens on both computer and mobile.
I'd put more time into this game if the descriptions didn't rely on generative AI. Simple text or leaving descriptions out completely beats having AI-written ones.
i adore how this game plays out in my imagination, though there honestly needs to be an option to skip past the text recaps and scoring them each time. sort that out, maybe toss in a little extra content, and it'll be spot on.
I genuinely wanted to like this, yet finding out the recaps use AI ruined it for me. I'd have much rather had a fixed batch of punchier stories—something you read through once, appreciate, and don't feel obligated to revisit. As it stands, those AI-written tales are gibberish that bring nothing to the table and only drag down the pace.
It's enjoyable. The one gripe I have is wanting to see the cause of death for my relatives, since I wound up inventing my own lore over it. For instance, Sapwood's 62-year-old king was in great shape, then suddenly died the moment he left for a "hunting trip." Left me wondering, "How?" Things between Sapwood and Winchester were peaceful, so who did him in?
I'm taking down my comment since I tried out the Steam release and had way more of a blast with it. Had a hunch there was a stronger edition worth tracking down. You folks ought to take pride in what you built, especially how straightforward yet gripping those end-of-game tales turned out.
not sure what happened, but unfortunately the game won't run anymore, it just throws an error and fails to launch
super entertaining and hooks you fast i can't stand when relatives constantly botch their courtships and wind up staying single might just be my own problem tho lol
I beat it!!! Wrapped up this game in two hours back four days ago!! Winchester was meant to be the hard difficulty House, yet even with illness hitting the first two generations, it turned out surprisingly simple! I really loved how genetics work here! One of my kids wound up with red hair just like his granddad!
neat, though folks keep passing away prior to ever wanting children, which bugs me—none of the starting kids will produce any.
I really adore this game, though it gets a bit frustrating how reluctant my relatives are to have kids
omg this game has me hooked, is there an option to hide dead relatives bcz after a while zooming out and panning all over gets kinda exhausting ToT I ADORE IT THO!!
