Linda Brown: Interactive Story vs Star Project
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.
Star Project
Star Project is an anime-inspired, dating-themed game where you are an entertainment CEO and manager who is trying to save your company. However, everything changed when you stumble upon a charming country boy, named Yoon, who dreams of making it big as an entertainer. Naturally, your instincts kicked in and you start nurturing him into the celebrity you know he could be. Aside from setting him up with gigs, you can even dress him from head to toe, and even engage in a romantic relationship with him.This game may not be exactly the same as the old Star Project which had been shut down, but it is quite similar in its gameplay and storyline... close enough to be a great alternative game for those who had longed for the game to return.
