Frequently Asked Questions about Your Crown is Mine
FAQs about the villainess life sim game on Steam that I'm developing
Hi! I’m the creator of Your Crown is Mine, a villainess life sim game :D
Q: When will the game and demo be released?
Full game = 2026
Demo = July/August 2025. Demo may receive updates afterwards
Q: What platforms will the game and demo be released on?
Steam and Itchio, for PC (Windows/Mac/Linux). In the future, maybe I will port the game to other platforms.
Q: How much will the game cost when it’s released?
I'm not sure, but it'll be priced around $10 to 20 (USD). Steam will adjust this for different countries’ living costs. If you think this is too high/low, feel free to let me know.
Q: How many hours of content does the game and demo have?
Getting to one main ending takes 8-20 hours, depending on the route, your choices, and reading speed. You can do multiple play-throughs or replay from saved slots to see other endings/ choices, which would add more gameplay time. The demo will have 1-2 hours gameplay.
You might reach an early bad ending if your stats fell too low. You can replay from a saved slot to continue to reach the main endings.
Q: Did you draw all the artwork in the game?
Yes, all the art in the game is hand-drawn by me. Sometimes I will sketch on paper first, then draw over it on my drawing tablet.
Q: Will the game be available in other languages, besides English?
Currently, I plan to work with others to localise Chinese and Japanese versions, and maybe others as well. I can’t guarantee if or when this will be done. If you are able to help with translating, please contact me at lyyycaena@gmail.com
Q: What is the game about?
Take the throne and fix the corrupt kingdom— or worsen it! A story-rich life sim where you balance your stats and romance rival nations' leaders for foreign policy purposes. Every choice you make will affect the whole nation. How will you rule?
Play as Lady Lucena Sariez, who was supposed to marry the Duke to merge the power of their families-- until the Duke replaced her with the soft and saintly Rosalie. After Lucena's public fall from grace, she vowed to take the throne. If you manage to win the throne, that's where the real fun begins: ruling your nation.
Q: What is the gameplay like? Can I skip dialogue?
In each in-game day, you can choose activities that will change your stats, then there will be some story/dialogue. All of your choices will affect the story and available routes. There are mini-games or more choices within the activities. You can romance rival nations' leaders, and your relationships also affect the kingdom.
The gameplay is inspired by 2D life sim games such as Princess Maker, Volcano Princess, Needy Streamer Overload, and Long Live the Queen.
If you want, you can use the ‘Skip’ function to skip dialogue until the next choice.
Q: What are the activities I can choose in each in-game day?
Weekdays and weekends have different activities available. More will be unlocked as the story progresses. You might meet some characters in each one. All the activities are interactive, not just a stat boost. In chapter 1, weekends have 5 activities:
4 kinds of visits - the inn/ town centre/ village/ Bloom Manor
Rest at home
In chapter 1, weekdays have 8 activities:
4 kinds of “Study” - Model Imperial Council, combat training, Atissian investment, and flower arrangement
3 kinds of “Work” - Club Alacrity, Citizens’ Council, and Corpyhe Inn
Rest at home
Q: What is the setting of the game?
A world typical of the Otome Isekai genre: a fantasy world inspired by the aesthetics of 19th century European aristocracy.
Q: Who are the love interests?
There are 4 love interests, as pictured above. This includes the cold Duke of the North, as well as the saintly heroine. Yuri routes are available! You can choose to romance any of them, or none at all. Your relationships are measured by ‘Affection’ stats, which also affect the kingdom’s story. There’s more info about these characters in the ‘about the game’ section of the Steam page.
Q: Can I choose to be evil?
Yes, you can choose to live up to your reputation of an ‘evil villainess’. You can conquer the world and invade other kingdoms. Though if you want to be a benevolent ruler, you can also choose that.
Q: What are the factions I can join?
You can choose to join one of the 3 factions in the kingdom of Iriyn:
Malachite (Southern Iriyn): Popular with the common people, lesser lords, and Atissian businesses
Amethyst (Midlands of Iriyn): Popular with historic and traditional noble houses
Sapphire (Northern Iriyn): Has a reputation as war heroes and the keepers of the Northern border. Steadily gaining popularity with the common people
Q: What are the main kingdoms in the game’s world?
Iriyn: a traditional power that is declining. This is where you and the main characters live
Atissia: a new rising power. The home of new power source Candentia energy. Aeriselle and Helius are from Atissia but now living in Iriyn
Q: Can I customise my main character?
Currently, you can choose what outfit to wear at some points in the game. I am thinking of adding customisation, but as all the art in the game shows Lucena’s design, it’ll be difficult to draw too many variations of her.
Q: Where can I get updates about the development process?
