comment |
Beauty and the War: X Playing Pieces is a dark fantasy otome Visual Novel made in Ren'Py by Poison Apple Tales.The tale is set on Virgo Island, where creatures of myth, legend, and fairy tale reside. For generations, war has waged among the clans for power and dominion over the island: the Valkyrie, the Trold, the Hulder, and the Phoenix.Virgo Island has finally settled into an unstable peace after the mysterious Vi Clan emerged victorious from the generations-long war. On Virgo Island, you'll find creatures of legend and myth as well as fairy tales, except these are not stories. Each race fought viciously for dominion and power. However, it was the mysterious clan of the Vi who put an end to the generations-long war and forced the island under their reign.The heroine is the beautiful Ambrosia of the Phoenix Clan, with hair as dark as a raven's plumage, and skin that would shame the purest snow. As a member of the only clan allied to the Vi, you can gain friends, make enemies, find love, and explore the world to find ways to maintain or destroy the fragile peace. Just remember, being the beauty that everyone desires in a world with an already unstable political climate may not be easy...War: 13th Day serves as a prelude to the main game that introduces the player to Wildfire and some of the main cast. Don't Take This Risk is a spin-off that features one of the love interests in an alternate universe setting.Official website, which has links to related games and sneak peeks, can be found here. |

Framing Device: The story is being retold by Ambrosia to the player. The choices the player makes when listening to her which will apparently become relevant to the story towards the end. Multiple-Choice Past: Since the story opens on Ambrosia recounting her past, the player determines what her experiences and personality was back then, and sets the stage for things that can't be changed in later acts. |

Innocent Fanservice Girl: Ambrosia's outfit consists of just red ribbons and a sheer skirt. She's not trying to be provocative, though, she just thought the injured warriors and the elders needed the winter clothes more and she would have to remove clothes to cut herself for the blood healing that Phoenix's do anyway. |

Fantastic Racism: Since the tensions between clans are still there, they still look down on each other. The Trold are viewed as savage barbarians, while the Hulder are seen as two-faced schemers, and so on. |
