Seven Kingdoms: The Princess Problem is a fantasy otome visual novel by Azalyne Studios/Aly, built in Ren'Py with 2D CG art. You play a female protagonist navigating politics, relationships, and consequences over seven in-game weeks. The game combines dating sim, roleplaying, and simulation elements, with a detailed customization system, multiple backgrounds, and many choices that can alter outcomes. It includes twelve relationship and marriage routes, three with female characters, and offers a story mode for players who want failures to be less game-ending.
The current listed build is v1.12, released on June 28, 2024, for Windows, macOS, and Linux in English. This version is listed as censored. Changelog notes dated July 1 and July 6, 2024 show post-release updates. The July 6 entry lets the countess and princess possibly gain a combined manipulation bonus at the welcome feast, with new game plus bonuses potentially starting at 50 manipulation. It also fixes blackmail paths for Gisette and Blains, prevents the pirate chicken from disrupting the play, and addresses minor bugs and typos.
Developer's description
Seven Kingdoms: The Princess Problem (or 7KPP for short) focuses on player choice, customization and consequences. Politics and people are the core challenge of the game. (And it
is
challenging. So much so a story mode has been created for those who prefer their failures to end up less game-endy.)
A fantasy, politics, Otome visual novel with roleplaying and simulation aspects inspired by interactive fiction, Bioware and current English Otome games, 7KPP is not quite like anything that has come before.
Spanning seven weeks of gameplay, almost a million words of content, 12 different romance/marriage routes (3 of which are with female characters) hundreds and hundreds of choices, a detailed character creation that has has over 40 stats to master, including personality traits, a choice from six separate backgrounds (all with their own storylines and unique reactions, choices and dialogue) and world-changing outcomes that vary with every choice you make, 7KPP is massively replayable.

-The countess and princess now have a chance at a double manipulation bonus during the welcome feast - with ng+ bonuses this gives them both a potential 50 manipulation to start, which hopefully should be enough
-The chicken (pirate version) has once again been captured and prevented from ruining the play
-Gisette and Blains blackmail paths should now be working as intended
-Various small bug and typo fixes
2024-07-01
Clean Slate Version
Fixes for 1.07
-Sayra's giant disembodied head should stop looming behind negotiations
-The chicken should stop sabotaging the play (at least in the bug sense... as for in the narrative sense. It's one naughty chicken.)
-When marrying Hamin with the Hise Pirate background, mass amnesia where the game didn't remember you actually were from Hise in the first place should be fixed
-Trying to increase peace in Revaire during negotiations no longer falsely claims you are actually trying to increase conflict
-If Jarrod marries Sayra, the game now remembers he can't also marry you and other miscellaneous typo and bug fixes
2024-06-30
-Fixed Gisette sneakily getting her lovers two new game + credits for one- you should now only get the correct epilogue and boost
-Changed it to make the choice for the Gisette/Jarrod ending more clear
-Fixed a bug breaking Jarrod's ending on his romance path
-The game should now remember that Jarrod isn't thrilled about the peace endings when you are marrying him
-Added an experimental option during the game mode selection that allows you to delete persistent data (earned achievements, seen text, unlocked backgrounds, bonuses and characters) I'm not 100% this will work, but I have my fingers crossed and other various small fixes with version 1.0.6
2024-06-28
Bugfixes:
-A stray _ that was trying to monopolize Ana's epilogue has been dealt with. You should now be able to get her epilogue properly.
-The what your summit will be known for now has additional variations for when you manage legendary and good ends, but not completely, and the line for all peace ends has been improved.
Version 1.0.5
2024-06-25
Bugfixes
-Ria's happy endings should be working properly now, and Hise now remembers you married her
-An issue that meant sometimes on the political marriage route you would get multiple endings for your spouse and occasionally accidental bigamy should be fixed
-Hamin's ng+ bonus should be working

Have to add a review since there are none, and the game needs the tag "no sexual content", since there really isn't any at all. Which strangely enough is a lucky incident for me bc I would not have spotted…
