Seal & Sentence

Game premise and setting

Seal & Sentence is a medieval document-inspection and decision-making game set at the border of a kingdom approaching war. Players take on the role of a border inspector, enforcing royal decrees, inspecting travelers’ papers, and deciding who can enter the realm. The narrative unfolds as players encounter various travelers, some of whom may not be who they claim to be.

Document inspection and interrogation

In the game, you compare names, seals, portraits, travel permits, and kingdom records to verify the authenticity of documents. You’ll discover forged papers and contradictory statements, which require careful attention. Mistakes can lead to a spy, smuggler, or wanted criminal crossing the border. If travelers appear suspicious, you can interrogate them, asking questions and checking their answers against the information in their documents.
