The Last Court: A Dragon Age Adaptation

THE LAST COURT: A DRAGON AGE ADAPTATION

The Last Court is a game of lordship where you play as the ruler of Serault, an eccentric fiefdom at the farthest end of Orlais. As the Marquis or Marquise, you’ll guide the realm through its most crucial period in its history.

Will its ancient Shame be forgotten? Or will Serault fall into obscurity?

You’ll manage the affairs of your court. You’ll choose a counsellor, a bodyguard, an accomplice and a lover. You’ll balance the concerns of your subjects. Will Serault be renowned for its dignity or its freedom? What is the greatest threat: outlaws, revolutionaries, or the the nameless ancient things that slither in its deep woods? There are stories to explore and secrets to unravel.

Who is the Horned Knight? What lies in the Sealed Chantry? Who is behind Serault’s recent troubles? You’ll meet a host of new characters, like the Purveyor of Teas and the Acerbic Dowager. And maybe you’ll run into a few familiar faces from other Dragon Age titles...

The Last Court contains some adult themes and language.

INSTRUCTIONS

The gamebook is a simple HTML file; it is best played in fullscreen mode.

This is an adaptation of a 2014 browser-based game of the same name. The original game was shut down permanently in November 2020, and this is my attempt to somewhat preserve its beautiful prose in a playable form. 

Your saved games are stored in your browser cookies. Clearing your browser's cache will wipe out any saves!

We got featured on TheGamer! Do check the article out. :)

You can also play the game offline by downloading the latest version from here or from down below in this page! The offline version is also free, and open-source. Playing this way won't look good on mobile devices however, as only PC can fully load the images used in the game. If on mobile, please prefer the version here on Itch.io.

If you liked the game, please consider assigning it a rating according to your experience!

A FINAL WORD

Be forewarned that, because of the transition from the original episodic, card-driven game to a straightforward gamebook format, there are small additions to the game's writing. I tried to remain respectful of the hauntingly beautiful prose of The Last Court; you tell me whether and where I failed or not. I estimate that the added content is no more than 2% of the total, if that much, and exists mostly to link one event to another in logical order.

Any and all writing and/or art that was in the original game belongs to its respective owner(s), being applied here in fair use under the sole purpose of not-for-profit art preservation. Any writing and/or art of my own here contained are to be considered as belonging to the public domain. It was entirely made with Twine (Harlowe).

I am not a writer, artist or programmer, so there might be typos or bugs or weird stuff; if you spot any of those, please tell me.

Enjoy your adventures in Serault!
