At first glance, you might be wondering, "What Is Angelique?".
At the moment, I have not made a separate page for this question, but, eh, that's
just because it's Thanksgiving and I'm trying to drill the horrible thoughts of my
father's immediate family out of my head. So, what is Angelique? Well, it's a
dating sim created by Koei that was never released in America. However, this game
is far too golden to pass up. You are Angelique (or, I named myself 'Asuri') and you,
along with a prim and proper girl, Rosalia, have been chosen to become the new Queen
and Queen's Aide. You have to cultivate the continent allocated to you by the Queen
and whoever reaches the island in the center connecting the two becomes Queen. However,
to do this, you must ask for help from the nine Guardians who preside over different
elements: Julious, Clavis, Randy, Lumiale, Marcel, Oscar, Luva, Olivie, and Zephel.
Along the way, some of these nine may grow to love you, and vice versa...
This is decided by an 'affinity rating', or as I call it, 'the love rating'. Green
numbers from 0 to 200 tell how much a Guardian hates / dislikes / is neutral towards /
likes / loves you. There's also a compatibility rating for how much you two would get along.
This holds true to Rosalia as well, and it's not just you that'll be getting lucky.
If a Guardian likes you enough (at least over about 110-120) then he will randomly come and
help cultivate your continent even when you don't ask. Much rarer is when said Guardian comes
'round and hinders Rosalia for you, which to date has only happened once to me.
So these Guardians are (unfortunately) not your own, and Rosalia will undoubtedly fall in
love with one. This guy will eventually grow to hate you. However, the Guardians that love you
will eventually hate her.
With all that said, on to the images!
The original game. This game is the first. Or second, on a technicality. Current buildings = 16 - 21.
The third game. My third game, Olivie-based hilarity ensues. Buildings are 30 to 20.
