❤ Gameplay Overview

As Yvette Decaux, players navigate the high society of 18th century Paris on the eve of the French Revolution. With her fiancé missing, Yvette must build relationships with the various influential factions - the Crown, the Church, the Military, the Bourgeoisie, and the Revolution - by uncovering scandalous secrets and using them to gain power and influence.

❤ Time Management and Activity Selection

Each day, players can choose only one action for Yvette, such as attending a party, visiting the tailor to buy new dresses, selling gathered gossip, or resting to reduce exhaustion. This forces players to carefully prioritize their limited time and resources to make the most progress.

❤ Faction Relationships and Reputation

Players can choose to support or undermine the different factions through the information they gather and spread, affecting Yvette's standing and reputation with each group. Maintaining a delicate balance is crucial, as angering one faction may lead to dire consequences.

❤ Gossip Gathering and Monetization

A core gameplay loop involves mingling at parties, collecting scandalous rumors and secrets from guests, and then selling this gossip for profit. However, players must be cautious, as peddling the wrong information can negatively impact Yvette's peril and credibility levels.

❤ Dress-up and Fashion

Players can purchase and equip Yvette with new dresses for social events, providing her with subtle advantages, such as increased ability to gather gossip or sway particular factions. Managing Yvette's wardrobe becomes an important strategic consideration.

❤ Relationship Building and Romance

While not the primary focus, the game features a cast of potential romantic partners for Yvette to pursue, each affiliated with one of the major factions. Players' choices in these relationships can impact the overall narrative.

❤ Randomized and Replayable Encounters

The game's encounters and events are dynamically generated, ensuring no two playthroughs are exactly alike. This encourages players to experiment with different approaches and strategies, increasing the game's replayability.
