You’re not a tyrant. Not a monster. Not some sneering villain in a powdered wig. You’re a working-class Redcoat — conscripted or tricked into wearing the uniform that history decided everyone should hate.

This is not a story of glory. It’s a story of hunger, dysentery, marching through swamps, and being shot at by farmers who disappear into the trees before you can reload. It’s the slow unraveling of a life you never chose, in a war you never understood, for a king who won’t remember your name.

From the freezing tents outside Saratoga to the humiliating surrender at Yorktown, this immersive bedtime story places you inside the war — not as a strategist or a statesman, but as the forgotten body in the coat that turned red long before the paint did.
