King Story, previously know as Project O, is a Simulation/RPG about a sick boy named Corobo Bread. In King Story, our protagonist comes across a magical crown that changes him into a healthy King, with the responsibilities of leading a kingdom.

Taking control of Corobo Bread, players will: lead him around, talk with villagers, solve problems, and develop the town. As you wander around your kingdom, citizens will begin to follow you. As soon as you have enough helpful workers, you can get them to clear fields, search for treasure, and build roads and houses among other things. In King Story, you are given the responsibility of leading your kingdom from a fledgling village into a massive city.

As well as fending off dragons and other pests, you have to maintain a close relationship with your townsfolk. Each villager in your town will lead a life of their own, and have stories to tell. These stories will form a part of the main storyline, progressing throughout the game.

Sounds to me like Monty Python and the Holy Grail realized in video-game form. The first video footage of King Story will be shown at the upcoming Tokyo Games Show. (TGS) Check out some scans of the original Famitsu article for our first look at some in-game shots after the break.
