During an inconspicuous strategic meeting with the neighbouring country Stratha, an assassination attempt is made against you. You are seriously wounded yet miraculously carried out of the castle through a backdoor by elite bodyguards.Your King is your most powerful asset but also your greatest liability. How you control your King will determine whether you survive or perish.You lose the game if your King dies. That is, if you die!Protect yourself or face the consequences!Lost in the Open is designed to be a challenging experience. Enemies will pull you out of position, lure you into traps and work as a team to flank you. Position your units to create an impenetrable frontline, but remember to protect your flanks and, most importantly, your king!Each node you encounter will offer a narrative choice; do you engage in risky combat or take a small bribe? Do you help a stranger with a chance for a random reward but also a chance to be tricked?Furthermore, Strathaian royal guards are in constant pursuit. You will need to navigate the world strategically to not fall into the grasp of your pursuers.Defeating enemies, aiding strangers, and trading with merchants will allow you to unlock new traits and abilities and upgrade your equipment.

You’ll need to forge the recruits you come across into hardened, loyal bodyguards to survive.
