Agora delves into the realm of theater and the performing arts in order to give birth to a fun and wondrous new game for PC platforms (Windows and OSX). The characters in the game are actually actors performing parts in a play called Tyranny of a Princess. Set in a cylindrical world of medieval fantasy flavour, this scenario casts the player in the role of a knight who has just met a princess and must do everything in his power to please her. Players explore the world, gather resources, build a decent castle and fight off monsters with an army of colourful followers, in order  to meet the princess’ whims and desires. However, the princess is extremely demanding and believes she has a talent for singing. As the play unfolds, players are tasked with finding rare sheet music parts in order to improve her singing skills which she will respond to by attracting more followers to join your army.
