What is Princess of Corinium?
Princess of Corinium is a top-down pixel-art adventure set in a medieval village hit by a rat plague. You click or tap to walk, collect coins, keys and potions, and cure sick villagers by touching them with a potion of the matching color. The game ends when every coin, potion and chest outside the shop is collected.

Princess of Corinium casts you as a royal with a medicine bag rather than a sword. Rats are carrying a plague through a little walled town, and the villagers are falling ill one by one. Your job is to walk the streets, gather supplies and patch people up before they turn into ghouls. Jasper Renow-Clarke made it for js13k 2023, when the theme was the 13th century, using two free pixel tile sets. It plays unblocked with a mouse or a fingertip, and it never asks you to fight.
Getting Around Town
Click or tap anywhere and the princess finds her own way there, stepping around fences, trees and walls. Wooden signs mark each building. Stop on one to read it.
From the main map you can enter seven indoor rooms, including a beekeeper’s cottage, the blacksmith, a church, the castle and the wizard’s potion shop. A few have stairs leading to another floor. Most doors begin locked, and every key you find opens one door permanently.
Chests pop open when you step on them and drop a coin, a key or a potion. In the shop, red, green and blue potions are 2 coins each, while a white potion is 5.
The Plague Itself
Rats chase the townsfolk and bite them. Once a villager drops under 80 percent health, they start leaving colored drops behind. Walk into them carrying the matching color, or any white potion, and they recover. Wait too long and they become a ghoul that haunts the churchyard.
Not everyone is easy to reach. Shy villagers run when you get close, and frightened ones head home when rats are around. Monsters such as spiders, bats, ghosts and a cyclops chase the princess and wear down her health.
Princess of Corinium controls
| To do this | Mouse | Touch |
|---|---|---|
| Send the princess somewhere (she plots the path) | Left-click a spot | Tap a spot |
| Go through a door or use stairs | Click the door or ladder and let her stop there | Tap the door or ladder |
| Pick up a potion from the shop | Walk onto it and wait | Tap the potion |
Spending Coins Wisely
Early game: grab every chest you can reach and save keys for buildings you actually need. A key is gone once it opens a door.
Mid game: buy cheap colored potions, but only after you have seen which colors are bleeding in the streets. A wasted 2-coin potion stings when coins are scarce.
Late game: keep one white potion in reserve for the moment you meet a villager whose color you are not carrying.
Throughout: remember that doors, stairs and shop items only work after the princess comes to a full stop, so pick the exact tile and let her arrive. The panel in the corner shows your coins, keys and every potion you are holding.
Who It Suits
This is a cozy, low-stress adventure that works well for younger players and for anyone on a phone. The town is small enough to learn in one session but busy enough to keep you moving.

Princess of Corinium: questions players ask
Is there fighting in Princess of Corinium?
No. The princess has no weapon. Spiders, bats, ghosts and cyclops monsters will chase her and drain her health, so the only defense is to keep your distance and pick a different route.
Which potion does a villager need?
Look at the drops they leave behind. A villager below 80 percent health bleeds red, green or blue, and a potion of that color cures them. White potions cure any color but cost more.
What happens if a villager is not cured in time?
If their health runs all the way out, they turn into a ghoul and drift around the churchyard. Healing early, while they are only slightly hurt, saves you that trouble.
Does Princess of Corinium work on a tablet?
Yes. Every action is a single tap and the camera follows the princess as she walks. Hold the tablet sideways, because the game screen is wide.
How do I play again after winning?
Once the village is saved a message appears. Reload the page and a new game begins from the start.
