Evaluation

King's Heir: Rise to the Throne is a completed casual adventure game that launched on May 31, 2018. The store description presents a fully self-contained experience — 38 locations, 30 minigames, collectibles, achievements, and a bonus adventure ("Act of Deceit") are all bundled into the base package. This is a standard feature set for the genre, where the bonus chapter is typically included at launch or as a Collector's Edition bonus rather than a future release. Notably, the 31 developer news posts scanned contain zero development status announcements directed at this game. All 13 returned posts relate entirely to other Artifex Mundi / Cordelia Games titles — specifically Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with Love and My Brother Rabbit — and contain no references to King's Heir updates, patches, or planned content. The game has no DLC listed, no announced expansions, and no roadmap of any kind. There are no unreleased items on the store listing. King's Heir fits the established pattern for this genre: a complete, standalone hidden-object/adventure title shipped as a finished product with no post-launch content cycle intended. The game launched complete and has received no post-launch content updates.

About this game

Two royal knights, Edmund and Randall Ulmer, are tricked into a conspiracy against the crown. Pursued by the royal guard and ruthless conspirators, the brothers embark on a dangerous journey that will uncover the kingdom's shameful secrets, restore the honor of the Ulmer family and change their fate forever.

Many years ago, the prince of Griffinvale fell in love with a poor girl and - against his father's wishes - married her. The king, unable to reconcile himself with the hopeless union, sent his son on a crusade and, in his absence, drove his young wife out of the castle. The king had counted on the fact that the prince would eventually forget about her, but his plans were ruined when his heir died in battle, and the prince’s beloved wife gave birth to a child and died in confinement. After the death of his son, the king sank into mourning, and the future of the royal line was thrown into uncertainty. The royal court was overrun with ambitions and conspiracies, from which a group of people loyal to the fallen prince decided to hide his descendant. As the royal knight Edmund Ulmer, try to find the missing heir and help him regain his crown and retake the throne of Griffinvale!
