If you’ve ever looked at King Arthur and thought, “I could handle those egos way better,” it’s time to put your money where your monarch is.

French indie studio Wild Wits (the creative minds behind Aetheris and Crown Gambit) and publisher Curve Games have officially pulled back the curtain on an extended Steam demo for their highly anticipated “Round-Table management RPG,” Sovereign Tower.

Whether you’re a fan of narrative-driven choices or tactical kingdom management, this is one to keep on your radar.

Your Kingdom, Your Egos

Sovereign Tower puts you in the boots of a newly crowned ruler of a sentient, magical tower. This isn’t just about balancing the books; it’s about balancing personalities. Your court is filled with a roster of eccentric knights—ranging from overdramatic poets to actual wolves—each with their own stats, hidden traits, and massive egos.

The gameplay loop is a clever mix of visual novel storytelling and strategic management:

• Morning Audiences: Sit on your throne and hear the pleas of your subjects. Your decisions here affect your standing with four key factions: the Nobility, the People, the Merchants, and the Scholars.
• The Round Table: In the afternoon, you must assign your knights to various quests. Success depends on matching the right knight to the right task—sending a charismatic bard to settle a dispute works better than sending a brooding warrior.
• Tower Expansion: Spend your resources to build new annexes like the Blacksmith or the Witch’s Alchemy Room to gear up your court.

The Bardcore Legend Joins the Cast

In a move that has the internet buzzing, Wild Wits revealed a collaboration with Hildegard von Blingin’, the legendary creator of “Bardcore” music. Not only has she penned an original ballad for the game entitled “There Stands the Tower,” but she has also been immortalised as an in-game character: The Bard.

You can check out her character reveal and the game’s latest trailer below:

“It’s an honour to not only create a song for Sovereign Tower, but to be immortalized in the game as a character… The whole team has put so much love and passion into the game.” — Hildegard von Blingin’

Messed Up? Just Turn Back Time

The standout feature of Sovereign Tower—and a major focus of the new Steam demo—is the Demon living in the tower’s crypts.

We’ve all made a decision in an RPG that we immediately regretted. In Sovereign Tower, you can simply visit your “squeaky little friend” in the basement to rewind time. This allows you to explore alternate paths, unlock “Omniscience” responses, and see how the story would have unfolded if you’d been a bit more merciful (or a lot more tyrannical). Just be warned: meddling with time always comes with a price.
