Put Your Feet Up: Hero Of The Kingdom


Nothing pleases more on a Monday than watching a video of a game that starts with its menu, and then goes on to be completely honest about its sedate pace by clicking through more hand-drawn maps and menus.

Oh and there's a trailer too, containing more of the same but set to dramatic music.
