Ambition: A Minuet in Power vs High School Life
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!High School Life
High School Life is an interactive story game that might be a bit simplistic. Instead of having a deep and well-hashed-out story, the most you'll be doing in this game is dressing up to meet and flirt with boys, and hopefully, you'll get a date to the school dance, be it Homecoming, Sadie Hawkins, Winter Formal, Valentine’s Day or the actual Prom. You don't get to spend a lot of time in the actual high school setting though, despite being a game titled as "High School Life".The characters in the game aren't very well-designed either. The boys in the game seem to look especially flat-faced and honestly, a bit on the ugly side of things. The "texting a friend" feature is pretty interesting but it would have been nice to have some sort of interaction with your BFF at school, where again, being a high-schooler, you should be spending most of your time at.
High School Life is a pretty shallow version of an interactive story game and hence, is a poor alternative to games like Episodes or Choices, but it might still be enjoyable for some players who like something simple.
