The new Switch game takes players to 19th-century Eastern Europe to solve several mysteries, some of which are inspired by history. These included a case involving the lesser-known history of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
The story begins with Milda, who inherits her deceased Lithuanian grandfather's house.
A cryptic letter hinting at a family secret sets her on a path of personal discovery. But what began as a family visit quickly unraveled into a complex web of danger and intrigue.
Milda then finds herself investigating not only a lost relic. But also the legendary Lithuanian king who was never crowned. She will also get thrown into the rabbit hole of clandestine operations of the KGB during the Soviet era.
Along the way, players will guide Milda in solving intricate puzzles, follow cryptic clues, and make choices that shape the narrative.
Upon its release, Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit received generally favorable reviews. Whatoplay gave it a playscore of 7.8. The Switch version of the game was released in 2023. / ###
