The Council review

Exceptional

by Sasha_Cooper

The Council-Review You belong to an Order and are on the Lookout for your Mother, who is also a member of the same Order. She was invited to an Island she hasn't come back from. Basically, this is where your Adventure begins. The Council has quite a lot of In-game sequences where you can intervene from time to time, but more on that. It's set in the Past and it's about an Order and the missing Mother as I said. Each Character in the Game has their own Personality and Secrets. You have to look behind the Façade and find out what happened to find your Mother again. You can choose from 3 Character classes at the Beginning. The Agony of Choice Then you actually sit there and think to yourself, "Okay ... 3 Character Classes. So What can they do? " So you first read through the Description and notice that the Game becomes huge in terms of the solutions. There are character Classes--The Diplomats--He can negotiate well and does well what a Diplomat is good at. Also possibly looking behind the Façade of the Characters--The Detective--This Detects around and can question people and secretly take things and examine Them. Since I've only played with--the Occultist--so far, I can say a little more about this one. The Occultist can manipulate People and use words to get the Other person to tell you more and thus to sphy out his Secrets. Also, the Occultist Is loading and is very good at sciences, which can be an Advantage with some Puzzles Yes-I price the Occultists here, but I'm sure that the Developers have given each Character the Opportunity to solve Puzzles neatly. An Example is a Piece of Paper where something was written with Secret Ink. The Scientifically gifted person will probably know how to make this Font visible again, while other Character classes probably have a different Solution ... So far I have not even dealt with the other Character Classes. But what everyone has In Common are probably the Talent Points. Anyone can distribute Talent points and thus in the respective Professions (in The Occultist Science, Beauty, Manipulation) in others probably more other Skills that one can increase. Watch out where you use something!!! Using skills is limited. They cost Points. One has Initially I think I have 6-7 in mind, which can be multiplied later. After any Benefit of a Skill, be it to manipulate someone or what scientific Or remember where to have read what, the Points drop. Enteagainst can be used by Distributing Talent points between the respective Ability or by Potions that give these Points back or Even expand them by a Point Or cancel negative Effects. Conversations are first Class The Sequences are basically the Conversations as well. In many Conversations you have a certain Time to Answer, for some you don't. Every Conversation, every Path you choose to do, changes the Story sustainably, even in the following Episodes, where the Impact is likely to be greatest here than in telltale games. There are Confrontations in Conversations, among other Things. Here it is important for The Other things to do something to convince Each other or to tell you something specific, basically to chat up Secrets. You then have a Confrontation Bar at the top. You have a certain Number of False Attempts, if you have not managed to continue the Conversation to the last Point, but is considered a Failure. Important Things could be missed here. But even in the Confrontations, you can use your Talents like Manipulation and the like-with point costs, of course. Story is captivating Comparing the Game with other Games of this Kind you can already see things here. For Example, I wanted to know what happens if I had gone with Emily instead of Elisabeth. While with me the End of the Story was a completely different one than with another Livestreamer/Lets Player, I was convinced ... I want to start the Game after I have the game through definitely another Try, maybe as a Detective to see how the Game develops so then. So It has tremendous Replay value ... Unfortunately, the first Episode is currently only available and I am Eagerly awaiting The 2nd. Hope she's coming soon ... Because I'm hyped. Update: Now there are already 3 Episodes and these Episodes keep the Quality. The Adventure remains exciting and exciting.
