Long Live the Queen
A skill-management visual novel. You play Princess Elodie, a 14-year-old fantasy princess whose mom just died. It's up to you to prepare her in the weeks leading up to her coronation, by choosing what she does and learns. There are two things you control - what activities she does in her free time, which effects her Mood, and choosing what lessons she takes each week. Penalties or Bonuses apply to certain subjects depending on what Mood Elodie is in, and the lessons essentially raise specific skills. The story progresses and allows you to make choices and branches, but depending on how high or low certain skills are, some choices or even full story branches may be unavailable. Also, if you haven't picked the right skills, Elodie may die. A lot. The game is known for being surprisingly brutal for the type of game it is, but with great story, and a lot of fun and interesting ways you can take her. How will Elodie fare under your hands? Will she become a kind and loving leader, a cruel tyrant, a magical girl? Or will she die from eating chocolate? You decide!
