I just released a small prequel to 'The Empire Revival' project called 'The Butcher of the Castle Black'.
This game was made for 'The MEGA MINUTIAE 2023 Jam'. You can download it on itch.io and here is a related post on the RiaB forum.

One more villager. Runa, local witch who lives in a lonely house on the outskirts of the village. The villagers don't like her, but no one else can make a potion when it's needed the most.

Here are a few screen shoots from the town. A couple more interiors: house of a local journalist and a Blooming Rose public house. How can these two be related? 🤔

There is a rare and expensive mineral that is used to make Mana Potions and other magic things. The extraction of this mineral is extremely dangerous and is strictly regulated by the state. However, sometimes the high price lures adventurers to illegal mining. One of these mines was under the ruins. Ramir will find out what happened to these unfortunate miners.

This abandoned mine is very dark so Ramir use his torch.

Miners made a lot of traps against intruders. Looks like it didn't help tham much...

Oh, I just noticed that I didn't share a house where Admiral Grimson and Ariana hides from Alliance. Initially I just wanted to make a badass mage. Then there was an ex-admiral's apartment. And I ended up having a separate mini-game about these two for the game jam - "The Butcher of the Castle Black".

But these two also play a big role in Ramir's story as well.
