Silver Lining found in long-awaited King’s Quest revival

After eight years, several turbulent legal disputes, and a huge commitment from volunteers at Phoenix Online Studios, the first of five episodic instalments of The Silver Lining, a new fan-made chapter in the Kings Quest series, has finally been released as a free download.

What Is Decreed Must Be starts where the last King’s Quest game finished in the Land of Green Isles. There is meant to be a celebration but “the arrival of a black-cloaked stranger, however, revelry turns to tragedy as the royal twins Alexander and Rosella fall victim to a mysterious curse. Now patriarch King Graham must don his feathered adventurer's cap once again and set out on a quest to save his family.”

Unlike most freeware endeavours, this ambitious project features 3D artwork, an original soundtrack, and a cast of professional actors. It has even attracted the interest of series creator Roberta Williams herself, who claims "Now there is a chance to truly find out what happens to the royal family of the Kingdom of Daventry. I, like many other fans, would like to see how this story unfolds!”

To download “Whatever Is Decreed Must Be” and learn more about The Silver Lining, visit the official site. Registration is required to download the game, but is totally free of charge.
