From Bum to King is an eyebrow-wiggling simulator during a curse in the fictional Medieval Age with elements of strategy and farce.
What an ideal life to be king - wealth, honor and respect, sumptuous feasts, military campaigns, to punish and pardon with a single wave of your hand. How beautiful it is... it must be so... especially if you start as a beggar tramp. May the road to the throne and greatness begin!

Bloody battles, nefarious intrigues, treasure-filled dungeons, loyal friends, treacherous enemies, and more await you on this fascinating journey.WorldA completely open world and freedom of action.

It causes the skin of the unfortunate to rot and peel off their bones. Only a town built around the sacred Hospodar's Tree is a protection and refuge from the hated Tlen. No one remembers when it came into being. Where did it come from? How to get rid of it? These questions have been asked for centuries. Who knows, maybe it is you who will find the answers.RelationshipsEnemies will try to get to you or your family. Friends will support you in a difficult situation. Build relationships with characters however you like. Execute, torture, show mercy, trade, insult and, of course, wiggle your eyebrows.Eyebrow WigglingThe locals are simple in expressing their emotions and desires - they move their eyebrows. This is how people negotiate, build trust, express sympathy, and marry. Try it, it's quite helpful.Artificial LimbsProsectors are masters of surgery and making prostheses. Wood, steel - everything will do. They can make limbs better than humans have. Wooden arms and steel jaws are commonplace in this world. Replace body parts with artificial ones to become stronger.Schopenhauers Each character has many characteristics. And everyone can change them. The Schopenhauers, immortal servants of the Higher Powers, are here to help. They can cure diseases, make you attractive, turn a weakling into a strongman - they can do anything. But they charge by the years of life. Your character will have to grow old.Jobs and TasksTo develop your character, you need experience and money. And you can earn them in different ways.
