Death by a Thousand Choices

Hanako Games has a few games under their belts according to Steam, but Long Live the Queen still looks to be their most popular game. A visual novel with strategy elements - it's like a choose-your-own-adventure game that looks sweet and innocent but under that pretty facade is a game of cut-throat politics, magic run amok and seemingly everyone who wants to kill a 14-year-old would-be queen before she can be crowned. As long as you don't mind reading a bit (and re-loading a lot), it's a great concept that works incredibly well.
Presentation: The overall cute visuals hide a very macabre story underneath. It's like My Little Pony meets House of Cards - twisted politics and candy-coated sweetness on top. Hell, you can unlock outfits for your character! How much sweeter could you get?! …
