Dragon Age: The Last Court Announced

We have finally learned what indie developer FailBetter was working with BioWare, and, as it turns out, it's a text adventure set in the Dragon Age universe, titled Dragon Age: The Last Court. The game will be available as part of the Dragon Age Keep and will put you in the shoes of the ruler of Serault, an Orlesian fiefdom:

We are proud to reveal Dragon Age: The Last Court, a very Failbettery game set just before the forthcoming Dragon Age: Inquisition. It will be playable in your browser and features the text-driven, story-rich gameplay that powers Fallen London.

In Dragon Age: The Last Court, you are the ruler of Serault: an eccentric fiefdom at the farthest ends of Orlais. As the Huntress or the Scholar you'll guide your realm through the most crucial period in its history. Will its ancient Shame be forgiven? Or will Serault fall into obscurity?

This is a game of lordship. You'll manage the affairs of your court. You'll choose a counsellor, a bodyguard, an accomplice and a lover. You'll balance the concerns of your subjects. Will Serault be renowned for its dignity or its freedom? What is the greatest threat: outlaws, revolutionaries, or the the nameless ancient things that slither in its deep woods? There are stories to explore and secrets to unravel. What lies in the Sealed Chantry? Who is the Horned Knight? Who is behind Serault's recent troubles? You'll meet a host of new characters, like the Purveyor of Teas and the Acerbic Dowager. And maybe you'll run into a few familiar faces from other Dragon Age titles.


A number of video previews from prominent BioWare fans are also already available to give us a taste of what the full title will be like:
