Once upon a time, there was a charming young peasant looking for a fresh start…

Lakeburg Legacies is a social-based village management sim focused on pairing up your townsfolk to make the most effective, and most loved up, couples. Think you’ve made the perfect match? Then follow your families generation after generation and watch their lineages blossom or wilt. See what effects they have on your realm!



But don’t let yourself get too carried away in the matters of love, or your people might go starving. Balance production, trade, housing, and more as you set out to create a happy -and healthy- settlement. Oh, and you never know what sordid affairs might go on in Lakeburg, so keep an eye out for random events and visitors that might pay you a cheeky visit.



So, make your kingdom grow and thrive through the power of love — or to hell with happiness and focus on creating the strongest, most skilled families to boost your production! How long will it take you to crown a sovereign?



Make couples! Pair together the lovebirds of your town, regardless of gender, and find the perfect matches to create the strongest, happiest settlement around.
In Lakeburg, each character has their preferences and flaws that you’ll need to pay attention to. Nobody wants to be stuck in an unhappy match (and nor does your kingdom)!
Write your legacy: happy couples will have children, so try to pass the best traits from generation to generation.





From small village to flourishing kingdom: manage your resources to thrive!
Drama! Navigate tricky, randomised events that will introduce chaos in the love life of your people. Try to keep them in check!
Everything procedural: every playthrough of Lakeburg Legacies is different - what kind of ruler will you be?

Lack of polish, wait for future update

Lakeburg legacy is basically a small management game where you have to ensure that your villager are happy and manage to date and love each other. For the economy part, although not fully clear, it is simple, you have ressources (wood, vegetable, socks, ...) that you produce to cover both your consumption needs and your needs for purchasing bulding/upgrades. Some worker are more efficient at some task than some others because of their stats, and they progress. For the live/love management, your peeps have some taste they use for dating, where YOU have to check the peeps talk about the right thing to create a couple. In addition, the peeps will develop relations (romance, rival, ...) with others, which may influence their work, and may lead to some scene where for instance one offer the other to quit is partner to form a new couple. In addition, the villager receive properties (sick, loss of faith, ...) which influence their working and social stats. Lovers may get some kids which you can train for their adult time. And people die, and are to be replaced. This social part is based on a good idea in itself, however, it is wuickly overcomplicated when you have 50+ peeps, and YOU have to organize all the single dates and replacement. And the UI slightly helps you, but really needs improvement in readibility, no way to sort your worker by stats for instance when you need to replace your deceased thief. In addition to this there are some weird tweak issue, for instance with the faith: * Either you don't care, and some random villager will lose permanently lose stats * Either you keep in check (what the game make you think is the right choice) with your brothel, and as a side effect several villager will lose permanently intelligence, or you manually bug exploit by emptying your brothel once in a year * Either you do church which are not as efficient as the brothel, leading to the first situation In it current state it is not bad for a short game once every 6 month.

Very lovely and addictive cozy game

I've enjoyed this cozy game for 16+ hours at the point of writing this review and I plan on playing a lot more. ✦ The graphics are absolutely beautiful. ✦ The music is really nice. ✦ I don't know about previous versions, but I find the rules/mechanics quite clear and the UI easy to read and navigate. When a kid becomes 6 or 18 or when someone becomes widowed, their portrait pops up and satys in the bottom of the screen if you have the filter activated. You can see what job a deceased citizen had if you click on their name. It doesn't aim to be a simulator on how medieval life was, it's a pleasing cozy game where you get to know all your citizens, see them get old, have kids, their kids grow up... while you strive to make their village a better place to live in. I like everything about this game. If there's something about it that could be better, for me that's the fact that you can get to know your first citizens better than your last ones. At the beggining, the game is slower, so you can enter their house and read about events on their relationships. Later, there's not much time to do that. Of course, you can pause time and then read, but they become too many families, and you need time passing to get the resources needed to keep improving things. Nevertheless, a really nice twist on management games whith outstanding art. For me is a 4.5/5.

Menu Is Bugged

The game is beautiful, but the menu is malfunctioned, the remap didn't call up when click on items. Super annoying designs. CANNOT DISABLE HATEFUL AND USELESS "PRESET" KEYHINT!! This is not a console so we don't need you to teach us how to press keyboard.
