About Palace Ledger

An independent fan guide, built with care, verified from real playthrough data.

What Is Palace Ledger?

Palace Ledger is a fan-made game guide for Road to Empress (RtE) and Road to Empress II — FMV interactive drama games developed by New One Studio. This site provides chapter walkthroughs, ending guides, and character profiles for English-speaking players.

Our Principles

Real Data Only

All guide data comes from verified playthrough sources. We never fabricate game statistics or choice outcomes.

Spoiler-Light Design

Major plot reveals are hidden behind expandable blocks. Choice outcomes are labeled clearly so you can navigate safely.

Respect for Creators

No screenshots, no video clips, no leaked content. Road to Empress is © New One Studio. Actor portrait rights are respected.

Human-Written Content

Content is written and edited by humans using collected data as source material. We do not publish AI-generated bulk content.

How Our Content Is Made

Every guide on Palace Ledger follows the same four-step editorial process:

  • 1. Collect. Walkthrough data is gathered from public playthrough sources and the official character encyclopedia (see Data Sources above). We record every choice, outcome, and stat change at the chapter level.
  • 2. Cross-check. When two sources disagree — which happens often with RtE II's branching structure — we mark the discrepancy and only publish values confirmed by at least two independent playthrough records.
  • 3. Write for players. A human editor turns verified data into readable guides: what the choice is, what it changes, and what happens if you pick wrong. No filler, no padded word counts.
  • 4. Review and update. Pages carry a "last updated" date. When a game patch changes outcomes, or a reader reports an error, the page is revised and re-dated.

We do not publish bulk-generated content. If a page is short, it is because the underlying data is thin — and we would rather say so than invent details.

Corrections & Feedback

Found a wrong stat, a broken choice chain, or a missing ending? We want to know. Email contact@palaceledger.com with the page URL and what you saw in-game. Verified corrections are typically published within a few days, and the page's update date is revised to reflect the change.
