Ambition: A Minuet in Power Novelling Its Way to Switch

Iceberg Interactive and Joy Manufacturing Co. have announced today that Ambition: A Minuet in Power is officially out today on PC and in the works for the Nintendo Switch. The plan is for the game to release on the hybrid console this summer, and based on the PC trailer, this looks to be a unique blend of two seemingly disconnected genres.

Check out the trailer:

What is Ambition: A Minuet in Power?

A revolutionary, romantic, visual novel where your choices change the course of history!

It’s March 19th, 1789, and King Louis XVI rules over France from the gilded halls of Versailles. France is a country of elegance and poverty, of ancient tradition and unstoppable change. It is a country on the brink of revolution.

Attend parties, mingle with the rich and powerful, learn their secrets, and use this to get the wealth and power you deserve. Find true love in an opulent world of ever-shifting alliances, that grows more dangerous by the day.

Still, you must always keep your eye on the coming revolution. After all, it’s better to be on the right side of history, than the wrong side of the guillotine.

Features

• Explore A Living, Scheming World: Use your calendar to plan your commitments each week in Paris, and more importantly, who you do them with. In a city marching towards revolution, time is of the essence, and your enemies have agendas of their own!
• Love Is Power: Ensnare the hearts of Parisian nobles and use their influence to your advantage. Change the outcome of political events, snub your rivals, and be lavished with expensive gifts.
