The Next Indie RPG You Need To Follow? The Silent Kingdom, A Stunning Otome From A Solo Developer
I’m not really sure where to begin discussing The Silent Kingdom. After playing through the Early Access demo, I’m amazed by what this solo team has created. While playing, I tried to find aspects of this upcoming otome RPG that I could share with the developer to help them improve, but it appears they already have a solid grasp on laying out the foundation of an adventure with dashes of suspense and romance—elements I couldn’t help but get invested in.

Bright-eyed, huddled close to our TV, a second SNES controller plugged into the little grey box, I didn’t just have to sit and wait my turn to play an RPG for once. I could play at the same time my mum could. Secret of Mana was the first time I felt like I could play a game with someone. Co-op games absolutely existed before – just pick up any side-scrolling beat ‘em up or give Tails to your best friend…

Dungeons & Dragons has long been seen as the Kleenex of tabletop role-playing games, a brand that looms so large that it seems to blot out the sun and steal attention from other, similar games. And yet, D&D’s brand is currently on the back foot, unsteadied for the first time in a decade. The recent rules refresh has already produced the excellent Player’s Handbook (2024) and the Dungeon Master’s Guide (2024), but the industry titan feels very much between phases — on the threshold of something new, but still not fully realized.There are also troubling signs of decay. Despite the…
