So it has been a while since we last went over Desire & Decorum, so I will do a quick brief.
On with the review!
Choices is a video game that combines film and book storytelling with you making choices as to what will happen next. One of their newest releases was an Austenlike game Desire & Decorum.
In the last chapter your character has lost her mom and found out that her father is the Earl of Edgewater. With you mother’s death you, and your beloved best friend turned lady’s maid, have traveled to meet him. Now the question is, will he accept his daughter?
What if he doesn’t want me?
So we meet the Earl and he surprises us that he completely accepts us! Yay!
Not only has he fully accepted you as his daughter but he has legally made you part of the family. You are now a Lady of Edgewater!
But of course every story has a villain, and yours is no different. You have an evil stepmother:
We will have to keep an eye out for her shenanigans. It turns out she has a son from another marriage and she is hoping that your father will adopt him and leave him all his wealth, land, and title.
Your stepbrother is engaged as well, so not only will we have to watch out for the Countess but two others that may be potential threats.
Now the book presents you with many options of love interests. Last time we met Mr. Ernest Sinclaire.
This week we meet in Austenland fashion the complete opposite in man, Mr. Harper, horse groomer.
I wonder which Austen hero he will be like? Romantic and wise like Colonel Brandon? Idealistic and does the right thing like Edward Ferrars? Broody and serious Darcy? Playful and stern like Mr. Knightly? Serious like Edmund Bertram? Playful like Mr. Tilney? Passionate like Captain Wentworth?
Hmmm….
Or will he be a rogue? Sacrifices love for money like Mr. Willoughby? Selfish and narcissistic like Mr. Wickham? An annoying brownnoser like Mr. Collins? A cruel social climber like Mr. Elton? Only thinks of himself like Frank Churchill? Manipulative like John Thorpe or Captain Tilney? Plotting and cunning like Mr. Elliot?
Hmmm…
Who will you pick? What will happen next? I guess we will see next time:
Some games have a secondary mission, things you need to acquire to unlock special scenes or something special at the end of the complete story. In this I gained the embroidery frame. Yay! This one was free but the future ones I will most likely have to buy. 😦
