Game 3: The One Who Pulls Out The Sword Will Be Crowned King

Me VS. sword. Let's do this.

Or pull it out yourself if you're so inclined, usurper.

This is first game I've played where my opponent is the sword I'm holding.

You pull out the sword by holding the mouse button and moving the mouse up, but since you run out of room and you have to lift the mouse to move it back on the mousepad it's easy to 'lose your grip' on the sword and drop it by moving your little cursor sideways off the sword accidentally.

Got to about here and dropped it.

It's really alarming when you drop this thing, almost like a jump-scare except all that happens is the holy music cuts off and the sword just falls back down, but it's abrupt!

I didn't get as far with my next couple attempts. It's easy to screw up, I have to develop a technique.

I drop the sword several times and start to believe that it's because if I don't put sufficient pressure on my mouse button as I'm picking up the mouse, even if the mouse button is still physically 'clicked', the signal can shut off - and if this happens the sword drops. Ooh, I may have found the secret. You get much more leeway laterally if you hold it around the hilt which helps a ton.

I think this sword is taller than I am.

As you keep pulling, a beautiful chorus rises to signify your impending achievement.

It's definitely taller than me!

POP!

My Retinue awaits! I guess we're just going to leave the sword here? It's far too big to actually wield, even for JRPG protagonists.

The ending is so much more elaborate than the game itself. They made it worth the effort!

A fun, free title, with some challenge to it - I found pulling out the sword to be fairly difficult!

If you want to see the ending but have too much trouble with the sword, these sliders can make it trivial.

My first act as King is going to be to change the method of succession.
