Released on December 4, 2020, Suzerain is developed by Torpor Games, who also published the game alongside Fellow Traveller. As previously mentioned, it is a visual novel, and it takes a choose-your-own-adventure format. What this essentially means is that your choices matter greatly and will affect where the story goes.
You, as the player, will take on the role of President Anton Rayne, and what you basically have to do is to lead the nation of Sordland. Sounds simple?
Of course not, especially since this is your first term as president!
Despite the lack of experience, you'll have to make critical decisions on matters pertaining to security, economy, welfare, and more. You'll get to see the impact your decisions make. What kind of legacy will you leave behind?
