The conversations between Louis and the other inhabitants of the island wavers between feeling period-authentic and a little too modern. The overarching plot, specifically where Sarah went and who exactly Lord Mortimer is, are intriguing enough that I’m willing to overlook some of the questionable dialogue present here. Called to where she vanished, the isolated island of the mysterious Lord Mortimer, Louis de Richet must put all of his cunning and skill to use in order to find out what happened to his mother. Despite the power of the organization, though, the leader of the French sect, Sarah Faustine de Richet, has recently gone missing on assignment. With branches across Europe and even in the burgeoning United States, the Golden Order dabbles in everything from the occult to political manipulation. In the world of The Council, the preeminent ruling group is the Golden Order. The idea of secret societies controlling the world has been out in the open for centuries, whether you believe it or not. If The Mad Ones is anything to go by, the developer’s first foray into the genre is shaping up to be a success.
The next evolution may be upon us, though, with the arrival of Big Bad Wolf’s The Council. However, while the California-based studio has continued to pump out decent stories, other developers, such as Dontnod Entertainment ( Life is Strange) and The Odd Gentlemen ( King’s Quest), have brought the genre to greater heights. While the episodic narrative adventure genre had certainly been around prior to 2012, Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead could be labeled ground zero for the genre’s current renaissance.
