Return to the exclusive boarding schools of "Crème de la Crème"—this time as a royal! Work hard, study hard, and play hard as a royal in training at the exclusive Archambault Academy. Will you rule the roost, or be a royal disaster?
"Royal Affairs" is a 482,000-word interactive novel by Harris Powell-Smith, set in the world of "Crème de la Crème." It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
As the middle child of the Queen of Westerlin, you've led a sheltered life in the palace, but now you must spread your wings and prepare for your royal responsibilities with a year at the exclusive Archambault Academy.
Everyone knows your name, everyone has an opinion on what you do, and everyone views you as the face of the new generation of royalty. Your every move is reported in the press, a word from you could make or break a teacher's career—or the fate of the school itself. You're being courted by every club and social group on campus; and there are countless students who would love to be in your orbit.
In luxurious armchairs behind ivy-covered walls, you and your fellow students debate political theory—but outside, real trouble simmers across the realm. There are activists fighting to open voting rights beyond the aristocracy, and you can use your influence to sway the government's decision in either direction. Relations are growing increasingly uneasy with your country’s neighbors, and there are conspiracies around every corner. Why is your mother whispering behind closed doors with the Prime Minister? Have the leaders of the protests really disappeared? Which allies can you trust? There are some secrets that only your royal authority can uncover.
Will you honor centuries of royal tradition and follow the path that your mother the Queen has laid out for you? Or will you be a force of change, leading your country in a new direction as you break free of a lifetime of expectations?
Oh, and speaking of expectations—there's also the foreign royal that your mother wants you to marry. Who is in your class. And who happens to hate you.
• Play as male, female, or non-binary; gay, straight, or bisexual; monogamous or polyamorous; asexual and/or aromantic.
• Find love and/or friendship with your free-spirited childhood companion, a firebrand radical, a dreamy dancer, a financier haunted by tragedy, your devoted bodyguard, or a rival foreign royal.
• Cuddle and train your pet: a horse, dog, or bird of prey.
• Put on a lavish play, become a sports star, or run Student Council; and represent Archambault Academy against its rival Gallatin.
• Become your classmates' confidante and help them solve their problems—or make those problems worse.
• Embrace your royal responsibility and carry on your mother's tradition—and perhaps even take your sister's place as heir to the throne.
• Forge a path to the future by supporting revolutionaries' calls for change, or stamp out the movement with scheming and deceit.
When this tumultuous year ends, will you be Archambault Academy's crowning glory?
🤐💀 waaaait. You have to pay to enjoy the story after three episodes? Nah. Nah. Sorry but those who like to do purchasing in games only try this game.....others please don't it's fun to read but not worth when you get like. Trial period like stuff
Clunky, shoehorned woke political grandstanding, and flat characters.
This game is really good with great storytelling and choices, I just wish all the chapters were free or you had to watch an ad for another chapter. Overall good game but I was disappointed it ended at ch 3
Honestly, this is a very complex and interesting game, definitely need more of these types of games out of Choice of Games
Any story by Hannah Powell-Smith is bound to make up a part of a rich and vibrant world and this doesn't buck the trend. If you love text based RPGs and political intrigue I'd definitely give this whole series a go.
I love playing. But after not playing for a bit now it won't load past the title screen. At least the settings comes up. And sometimes the achievements. But mostly it freezes and I can't get past that. Going to wait a bit for any updates and download again before I buy. Really really love the interactive Novels 🙌🏼
Honestly top 3 text based games ever for me,would highly recommend
Fixed a bug where the font size would get larger when you close and reopen the app. (Use the Settings menu to reset your font size one last time.). If you enjoy "Royal Affairs", please leave us a written review. It really helps!
