Ambition: A Minuet in Power vs Dear Esther
Ambition: A Minuet in Power
Ambition: A Minuet in Power is a visual novel that’s filled with love and political intrigue. In this game, you play as a girl from a small town named Yvette Decaux, who was lucky enough to marry into nobility and live the rest of your life in luxury with the man you love, Baron Armand de Marbo… or so you thought. Set in 1789 Paris, it’ll test how well you can navigate the various factions in society via your fashion and dialogue choices in the very year where the French revolution was supposed to occur. Will you let history play out or will you change it? That’s for you to decide!Dear Esther
Dear Esther is one of the few rare games that managed to evoke strong powerful emotions simply with beautiful visuals, euphonious instrumentals, and an immersive and narrated story filled with love, loss, guilt and redemption. Previously a cult mod, the game sends you on a journey of exploration and self-reflection as you explore a remote and uninhabited island in the outskirts of Hebrides where apparently a mysterious Esther has summoned you here.The best part about all of this though is that the game is, unlike most heavily story-driven games, very replayable. Every play-through will give you a new experience as the audio, visuals and even the events that happen are all randomly generated. So, if you enjoy story rich games, Dear Esther is a game that will unequivocally captivate you.
