A computer role-playing game under the same title, based on the book, was developed by Burut Entertainment and Akella studios for the PC. The game is set immediately after the events in the book, so it can be considered a sequel to the book. The player takes the role of a rookie imperial intelligence officer, just straight out of the intelligence academy. The first ever mission is to investigate the disappearance of Don Rumata, and all of the ramifications of his disappearance. It quickly becomes clear why an inexperienced rookie agent was chosen for such a complex mission: since the player character is young and inexperienced, their higher-ups are hoping that they fail, and that entire incident can be swept under the rug.

The player eventually discovers the dark truth behind what has happened, and begins to use the advanced weaponry that Earth offers them during the mission. In other words, the game allows use of weapons of a space-faring race on a medieval world.
