Summary

King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne is an adventure game in the King's Quest series. Players control King Graham, now ruler of Daventry, as he searches for a bride in the land of Kolyma. The game follows Graham's quest to rescue a maiden named Valanice, who is imprisoned in a quartz tower by an evil witch. Players guide Graham through various locations, solving puzzles and overcoming obstacles using inventory items and interaction with characters.
