The Council is a narrative-driven episodic adventure developed by Big Bad Wolf. Set in 1793, the story follows Louis de Richet as he travels to a mysterious island to search for his missing mother. Invited to a secretive gathering hosted by Lord Mortimer, Louis encounters influential historical figures while uncovering political conspiracies and hidden agendas.
Unlike traditional adventure games, The Council introduces RPG mechanics, including character skills, traits, and permanent consequences for choices. Dialogue plays a central role, with confrontation mechanics allowing players to manipulate, persuade, or outwit other characters. Every decision shapes relationships and impacts future events, making each playthrough unique. Exploration of the richly detailed mansion reveals secrets, puzzles, and layered storytelling. With its blend of history, mystery, and psychological drama, the game delivers an immersive experience driven by player agency and strategic dialogue.
