Eldarya vs Linda Brown: Interactive Story
Eldarya
Eldarya is a free-to-play fantasy romance and adventure game where you'll get to play as a heroine in your own anime-themed story. By happenstance, you found yourself trapped in the magical and gorgeous world of Eldarya, and by being the newest addition to the world, it's up to you to explore the world, make new friends (or enemies), and maybe find a way back to your homeworld. Being a story-driven game, Eldarya features dialogue-based choices that you can select from, but every choice you make will come with consequences - they can be either good (helps you gain favor with a certain individual which may eventually lead to a date) or bad (offends the person instead).Eldarya may not look like much, though its anime graphics are simply superb, but it has tons of plotlines for you to discover, characters to meet, and a fun community to play the game with. So, if you're up for a romantic adventure through a magical world, Eldarya should definitely on your list of games to pick!
Linda Brown: Interactive Story
Linda Brown: Interactive Story is The Other Guys' forey into the interactive storytelling business after their pretty good sucess with the Sherlock-themed hidden objects game, Sherlock Holmes: Lost Detective. Similar to the latter, this game features an intriguing and immersive, romance-and-mystery-filled story where you'll be playing as Linda Brown herself. Meet a host of interesting characters (and you can even date some of them), travel to various locations as you follow the trail of clues, and make important decisions that will change the path of your narrative.However, unlike games like Episode or Choices, Linda Brown: Interactive Story has a gameplay that is a lot similar to any of the games Telltale Games produced. This means that characters in the game will remember your reactions or responses and act accordingly the next time you meet.
The only major downside in this game is that, like Episodes and Choices, there are special "premium decisions" that you can make to further deepen the storyline, but the diamonds needed to buy these special decisions can be pretty costly - $3 per premium decision. Due to this, it might be great to have the option of earning diamonds by watching video ads.
Overall though, Linda Brown: Interactive Story is still a very well-written interactive story that doesn't only have romantic elements but also an intriguing mystery that rivals most hidden objects games. If you enjoy a good mystery with a dash of romance, this is the game you should play.
