Official game description:
\[Game Background\]
"1000 Princes" is a female-oriented 3D visual novel otome game currently in development. This is the first installment of the “1000 Princes” series. It has now been fully updated and is the ★complete version★.
Q1: Why are there 1,000 princes by your side?
You’re an ordinary girl who happens to rescue a pink pig one day. However, this pig is actually a pet from a higher-dimensional cosmic time management bureau. It was locked in a server room, fainted from hunger, and ended up chewing on cables to survive. Unfortunately, it bit through your timeline, causing chaos in your time clock's magnetic field. As a result, all your prince husbands from past lives, the present, and future timelines have time-traveled to the era where you now reside. You suddenly find yourself surrounded by every husband you've ever had—at the same time!Your prince husbands come from various periods in human history, spanning ancient times, the modern era, the present, and the future. Some hail from domestic lands, others from foreign countries, some from the living world, and others from the underworld. Among them are a primitive man from the Stone Age, a fire and water general from ancient times, an arms dealer from the modern era, a power company CEO from the present day, an alien from the future planet Bike Star, and even a ghost king from the underworld. They represent different times and professions, yet all 1,000 princes are handsome, wealthy, and devoted to you with tender affection.
Q2: What happens on this shared timeline?
On this shared timeline, you and your 1,000 princes will face countless unbelievable challenges and dangers. Together, you’ll solve puzzles, embark on adventures, and overcome hardships. Through these experiences, you’ll grow closer, communicate, and support one another. The princes will protect and cherish you, saving you from various predicaments while vying to bring you to their individual timelines. However, issues arise on this crowded shared timeline—such as identity conflicts and the enormous group of men attracting police and media attention.
Q3: What is the goal of the 1,000 princes?
Higher-dimensional controllers understand that a soul’s long journey through reincarnation can be rewound, replayed, or fast-forwarded like a video. However, they do not want low-dimensional humans on Earth to uncover the secrets of time and space. The pink pig’s escape has jeopardized these secrets, putting you in danger of assassination. The 1,000 princes have one mission: to protect you from being killed. Guarding you, cherishing you, and loving you is their shared duty. You are the center of their world, their precious treasure!
However, the assassins from the higher dimension can take on countless forms and identities, launching relentless attacks against you. The 1,000 princes will do everything in their power to keep you safe. Escaping to a specific prince’s individual timeline is a way to hide from danger. So, who will you choose as your one true love?
Q4: Where and when are you currently?
You are currently a citizen of Fang Kingdom, living in Fang Kingdom. Fang Kingdom is a new nation established after World War III, located on a newly formed square-shaped landmass created by tectonic movements. It is a free, equal, and inclusive country that blends various ethnicities and languages. The people of Fang Kingdom are naturally romantic and passionate about love!
After World War III, a new international order and global structure were established, and Fang Kingdom maintains good and close diplomatic relations with emerging nations like Fish Kingdom, Chicken Kingdom, Turtle Kingdom, Rabbit Kingdom, Dragon Kingdom, and others. The post-war new world is filled with love, sweetness, and romance.
