You missed the conspirators :D You can see them at 1:48. The real gameplay starts with taking the knife from them ;)

The game unfolds an intriguing story that's not widely known, reminiscent of old-school text-based games. Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to assassinate the king. It's a pity there's no background audio, and the initial images didn't load for me. The historical and thematic depth is solid, though. Could definitely use some enhancements in the audio and graphics.
We know this that the game may seem difficult, but we wanted to challenge the player. The guards are very well trained - after all, they conquered almost all of Gaul together with Julius (well, except one village xD).
Player has no chance in a duel against a guard. The only way to eliminate them is to attack from behind :)
Sneaking allows you to slip behind your opponent's backs. They can still see you, but they can't hear you - your steps are completely silent ;)
We just released a game we made as part of Historically Accurate Game Jam 8. It would be nice if you tested and gave your opinion.
