Midnight Caravan vs The Good Life
Midnight Caravan
Midnight Caravan is a visual novel that features fantastic hand-drawn art (there are some adult imagery - you've been warned!) and an intriguing storyline of seeking revenge against an unknown foe. In this game, you play as the victim of “fake news” in the Georgian era. With your new caravan of outcasts to protect, you’ve decided that enough is enough! You set off on a perilous journey to hunt down the mysterious Cassini, who has completely destroyed your previous life before he destroys this new life you’ve built for yourself as well.As the story progresses, you’ll be given decisions to make. Every choice you make will then change the path of the story, whether it is for better or worse. As with any visual novel or gamebook, there are many paths that will lead to your doom, so tread lightly and above all else, make your story count!
Midnight Caravan is a truly fascinating visual novel with a story that feels as though it came right out of a TV drama directed by Dan Brown. Following every lead and clue you get, you’ll slowly push back the fog shrouding the mysterious, and very malicious, Cassini, and finally, get the vengeance you so desire!
The Good Life
The Good Life is a 3D adventure RPG featuring quests to complete, a mystery to unravel, and also a person speeding away in a highly advanced wheelchair that you can’t seem to catch up to. In this game, you play as a rather snobbish photographer from New York who’s in a massive amount of debt and the only way out is for you to complete this mysterious assignment you’re sent on – to discover why a sleepy little town is known as “the happiest town in the world”.As you play, you’ll unlock a feature that allows Naomi to change form. Without giving away too many spoilers, just know that by “changing forms”, Naomi will be able to reach areas she wouldn’t be able to reach otherwise, allowing her to uncover clues that will help in her investigation. The forms will also give her the chance to collect certain materials that she’ll need to complete quests.
The highlight of the game, however, is definitely its photography aspect. If you’ve enjoyed games where the goal is to simply capture nature at its best, then you’ll love the camera action here. Not only can you upgrade your camera (its lens specifically) to allow for more variety of shots, you actually need to rely on your photo-taking skills to earn a living in this game.
The Good Life is a pretty fun and charming adventure RPG with an interesting story to follow. The game’s easy enough for even young children to enjoy, though the protagonist, Naomi, might not make the best role model.
