okay, i admit i’ve never played a VN with real mechanisms like this one before, so it feels a bit too… grindy? probably skill issue on my part ‘cause i’d always thought i wouldn’t make a very good socialite and this game basically proved it. like, sheesh, how do people genuinely know the right thing to say or have the energy to butter up insufferable pricks? it took me a couple of playthroughs alone to fully navigate the UI and understand how things worked, mostly because the journal stored very little information even as the game progressed. i ended up having to make mental notes of every crucial intelligence i’d obtained along the way, and unfortunately for me my memory isn’t all that great either. story is decent, but romance is shallow. had to remind myself of my missing fiancé every other in-game week with how forgettable he was. there’s also zero chemistry between him and MC that i started wondering just how the hell they got together in the first place. none of the love interests really attracted me, but since romance is entirely optional (i think?), it didn’t really affect the gameplay. still, since it’s tagged a DATING SIM, my expectations were unmet. …as crazy as this might sound, i still recommend to give it a try since it can be a hit-or-miss depending on one’s playstyle and preferences. just don’t buy it at the full price.

This is a gem of a game that focuses on balancing stats, money, reputation, and fashion. You have to play through multiple times to unlock the conclusion of all the stories. I found the characters interesting and the story delightful. Also rising to become a political power via gossip and choices was a really fun time. You can romance all the characters at once. You can also edit your save file if you're on mac. I recommend playing the way the game was intended first, but the follow up PT's are made a lot easier when you give yourself like 10k livre lol. Even doing that I still have to do another PT in order to side with the crown this time.

Such an achingly underrated game! An absolute hidden gem that I wish for others to experience. The gameplay relies heavily on our choices and actions. Throughout, we are in control of everybody's fate. In this game, we have all the power and how to make use of it is completely up to us. The game is very very interesting and there's definitely no dull moment! The storylines are all well-thought-out. Now, this is THE visual novel (for me)!

Ambition: A Minuet in Power is a visual novel set in revolutionary France. You play as Yvette Decaux, a young woman from the country who has just moved to Paris to live with her fiancé. When she arrives, she finds that her fiancé has disappeared and she has been thrust into a world of political intrigue and scheming. The choices you make will determine Yvette's survival and the outcome of the revolution. The gameplay consists mostly of navigating conversations at various events. You'll attend parties to try to collect gossip, and between parties you'll explore Paris, sell collected gossip, and try to keep your credibility high and your peril low. You'll also use your influence and relationships to change the course of events in the revolution. There are 5 main factions in the game, each with a romanceable character associated with them. Your relationships with these characters, use of gossip, and decisions at critical moments can change the influence and affiliations of these factions and the overall outcome of the revolution. The game isn't difficult per se, but earning enough money to pay your servants and keep your wardrobe up to date while managing your social calendar can be challenging. Be prepared to not get to everything in one playthrough. However, the parties get pretty repetitive even by the end of one playthrough, as many of the conversations are just flavor text and follow the same format over and over. Everything you do is set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, although what you see happen and how it affects the game is determined by the balance of power in the game at that moment. The characters, events, and fashions are often at least partially based on real history, although the game takes plenty of creative liberties. In my playthroughs, it seemed to take more concerted effort on my part to get the revolution to win than to get the crown to take back power. There are a number of different major and minor subplots to follow across different stages of the game. Some of these are timed or can be failed if you don't get the right information, and it took me a couple of tries to see some of them play out successfully. Armand's subplot was one of the more intricate ones and probably my favorite. I felt pretty indifferent to the romances. The characters all had somewhat interesting personalities and I didn't dislike any of them, but they felt somewhat uneven: not all of them had the same amount of content, and some were more difficult to encounter or make progress with. The relationships always have romantic overtones, even if you try to reject them or choose less romance-leaning options. If you don't want to romance a character in a particular playthrough, you're best off avoiding interacting with them at all. Starting in the second stage of the game, they'll invite you on rendezvous, only some of which you need to attend to progress their story. Attending a bunch of unnecessary ones just fills up your schedule and makes you more tired, but declining them lowers your relationship. The game has a couple of bugs here and there with the events. I had one event get stuck, where it continued to show up on my map as a selectable event, but it just skipped the day when I tried to click on it a second time. In one playthrough, I got invited to a ton of parties for a particular faction and went through all the possible conversations, so my last couple of parties with them were just one conversation repeated multiple times. There are also some events that seem to be able to show up out of order. They'll contain one of the major characters of the game even if you haven't actually met them yet, and then you'll get the event where you meet the character later on. Overall, I enjoyed the game. The gameplay was unique, and I enjoyed the style and the historical references. The side characters and subplots were fun to explore, although the romances didn't stand out to me. I enjoyed replaying the game to get multiple endings, although repeating certain parts of the gameplay got a little tedious. 7/10

Game just kind of ends after a certain point. Would've been nice if it were longer. Not really worth the price point. Good attempt. Still, being able to contribute to crushing the peasant rabble was enjoyable.
