Kingdom of Bliss

You play as the king of a medieval kingdom who makes decisions to solve problems that your subjects present to you. There are multiple resources for the kingdom that have to be managed and which are affected by the aforementioned decisions. Slowly over the course of the game, a phenomenon spreads over the population in which they continuously laugh without stopping. These people slowly become more and more insane and also demand more and more entertainment. The king has to keep the kingdom's resources afloat amid this “endless laughter disease” long enough for his scientists to develop a cure to the disease, or he can use it to his advantage and manipulate his subjects who fell under the disease to exploit them while giving them things that make them more “entertained” as rewards for their labour.

This game was made for the Global Game Jam (January 2024) for the theme of "Make me laugh". Gamejam version has a broken event that locks the game and wasn't fixed due to a lack of time.

The latest fixes version fixes that bug.

The story and events are a bit barebones at the moment and lack variety but I aim to add more to it in the future. 

There is an ending though. Make sure not to pick the second option when meeting the jester to get the path for it though.
