Pseudoregalia is a 2023 platform game by indie developer rittzler.[2] The player controls Sybil, an anthropomorphic goat-like creature, who finds herself trapped in a castle in a dream realm. It is stylistically influenced by fifth generation era video games of the late 1990s, utilizing low-poly graphics.[3][4]
Pseudoregalia is a 3D platform game/Metroidvania hybrid, where the player character, Sybil, is tasked with making her way through the Castle Sansa. The game's environment is structured in an open-ended manner, with many alternate movement paths that can be made available to the player by upgrading certain abilities. The character movement emphasizes fluidity and responsiveness, with a focus on running and jumping.[4][5][6] The game is relatively short, and is possible to complete within a few hours.[7]
Plot
Sybil, upon arriving in a mysterious castle's dungeon through the use of a golden mirror, expresses vague concern about her punctuality and an unknown goal. As she travels through the labyrinthine structure, various NPCs and Signposts point to a far off tower with a princess in need of saving.
After obtaining all 5 Major Keys, and the upgrades required to reach them, Sybil is able to open the door at the top of said tower where the princess awaits. However, upon reaching her chamber, the Princess attacks Sybil and is soon after defeated. Afterwards, the castle collapses and it is revealed that the events previous were only a dream being had by someone who seems to know the Princess, who thanks Sybil for waking him up and wishes her luck on her next adventure.
