You wake on a rocky shore with no memory. A gold ring on your finger. A fisherman's daughter pulls you from the sea. The ring bears the crest of the Lord Protector -- the most powerful person in the kingdom, missing since the night the Veilstone shattered and the stars fell. People recognize the ring before they recognize you.

Shmedieval is a text-based fantasy RPG set across a kingdom of cities. Every city has its own people, politics, and problems. Dozens of named NPCs remember what you said, what you did, and what you chose not to do. A loyal dog follows you everywhere. Your choices shape the story -- and the story remembers.

Shmedieval is part of SHMARCADE, a collection of free retro browser games. The entire game runs in your browser -- no download, no install, no account required. Just a story that asks you to decide what kind of person you are when everyone already thinks they know.
