Rebellious Princess 101: Let's Play Castle Chase

Discussion in 'Dating/Otome - Broken OKCupid' started by Jacquelle, Nov 19, 2012.

    Hello Broken Forumites. Today I bring you a game which 1. has pictures and 2. is not creepy pasta (probably). Shocking, I know!

    [IMG]

    No, this adorable little game is called Castle Chase. It was originally part of a 2-week game creation contest, and can now be downloaded right here. But why play it yourself when you can watch other people do it for you?

    The game is completely free, which means I am planning on showing you all 10(!) endings. This is too big a job for just myself, though, so this is going to be a two-person joint LP. My partner in dating is the lovely Edelweiss, and we're each going to cover 5 routes.

    I'll start off by showing the introduction, and then you-- yes, you!-- can vote on what eligible bachelor we stalk romance first (and, therefore, which of us two LPers will take over first.)

    [IMG][IMG]
    As you could probably have guessed by the title screen, or the title of the LP, or even the title of the game, we are a *princess.* Everything's better with princesses!

    [IMG]
    But we are not just any kind of princess. Oh no.

    [IMG]
    We are a rebellious princess, classic-style. We won't take any of this ettiquette or courting crap. Why?

    [IMG]
    Because people are trying to marry us off, that's why! But are we going to take that shit sitting down like a *proper lady*?

    [IMG]
    Hell no we're not! We're going to stand up for our rights! We're going to fight for our freedom!

    [IMG]
    We're going to ask politely for a break.

    [IMG]
    We've never asked for a break before? No wonder we can't concentrate.

    [IMG]
    Huzzah! So what are we going to do with our newfound freedom? Make laws? Influence politics? Befriend the commoners and earn their love and respect?
    [IMG]
    ...I see. Go on a date. That, uh, that works too, I guess.

    So here we have our plot: we have one day of freedom to find true wuvs~, and maybe uncover some mysteries and solve some crimes along the way. But mostly romance.

    So that's what was going on behind the scenes of Super Smash Bros.


    [IMG]
    My thoughts exactly.

    [IMG]
    This is our little brother's room. He's a bit military-crazy, so he won't be much help in terms of romance-- not like that you sick fuck

    [IMG]
    We steal his rattle-- sorry, I mean his scepter-- and move on.

    [IMG]
    These lovely ladies wandering around are the Hint Maids. Each gives you tips about a certain guy and how to win his love~

    [IMG]
    Our father is preoccupied at the moment, with something I'm sure won't be important to the plot later.


    We head off to the kitchens, because you should never romance on an empty stomach, and--

    [IMG]
    Why hello there! And who might this dashing young man be?

    [IMG]
    ...oh. This is our, uh. adorable Best Friend™ Gilroy.

    [IMG]
    It seems Gilroy's bosses don't want him from being friendly with the princess. That's not what he's sad about, though.

    [IMG]
    No, he's sad because not only is he the Best Friend™ character, he's also the Incompetent Best Friend™ character.

    [IMG]
    What do you think, guys? Are we oblivious lazy royalty or do we have a heart of selfless gold underneath all that finery?
  4. MulMizu Sassy Black Woman

    I KNEW I KNEW WHAT THIS WAS

    this looks like it was made with RPG maker i know that box of tomatoes anywhere
  5. Jacquelle Hatoful Pigeon

    Yep, it was. They've been promising a sequel, but it's been a while without any updates so I'm not getting my hopes up.

    Help him, help him! Gilroy is adorkable. :D
  8. Verity I Pretty Much Live Here

    We're gonna be a helpful princess because we like our female protagonists to be Independent Strong-Willed Women and...
    Uh, that really didn't have much to do with this choice. Nevermind.

    He's our Best Friend™, so I vote that we help out. I mean, as a princesses, we would totally know what to do and can't possibly mess up, right?
  9. Jacquelle Hatoful Pigeon

    While I've got you all voting already: for the first path vote, do you want any more background info (i.e. should I wander around and try to find all of the guys in-game and get a screenshot of them) or are you fine with me just starting up the vote right after the next update?
  10. MulMizu Sassy Black Woman

    I would like to know my wooing choices
    otherwise, i will change my mind fifty times.

    I agree. It's been far too long since I played this game. I no longer remember who all the guys are.

  12. Jacquelle Hatoful Pigeon

    You can vote for as many guys as you want; I'll provide all the necessary info and pictures for each lucky bachelor, I was just wondering whether you all wanted to see someone beside Gilroy in-game first.

    Eeeeeeeeeeeee~ I love this game! It's so cute and everyone is wonderful and apparently a sequel is in development.

    I think either way will work. You could probably just put up pictures and info an each bachelor and it would be fine.
    NanaVampire, Eboby, Mekkanos and 4 others like this.
  15. Jacquelle Hatoful Pigeon

    We decide to help Gilroy. It's just the nice thing to do, after all and it's required for almost all the good endings

    [IMG]
    [IMG]
    Yes, just friends. For now~

    [IMG]
    Yeah, well, I'm the PRINCESS. They can suck it.

    [IMG]
    [IMG]
    We are Not Impressed.

    And then this lady comes and scares him away. I'm sure we'll see him again later.

    [IMG]
    Also, we stole borrowed a lantern.

    And now that the introduction's out of the way, it's time to play The Dating (or not) Game! There'll be a post for each ending we can get, and you can like as many of them as you want.
  16. Jacquelle Hatoful Pigeon

    Skyler
    aka, the asshole our father wants us to marry.
    [IMG]
    "Price Skyler of Pecok; he's the man that my father has decided I'll marry. I'll never be the type of girl who's fond of the idea of someone else picking your future husband, especially when that husband is to be a haughty jerk who takes joy in harassing me AND my kingdom!"

    Pros: Awesome green hair; secret heart of gold; probably rich.
    Cons: Jerk.
  17. Jacquelle Hatoful Pigeon

    Gilroy
    aka Useless Best Friend
    [IMG]
    "Gilroy's a servant at our castle and has been a good friend of mine for a great deal of years. He's treated badly by most of the other servants in the castle-- but I gussed it's not ill placed. Gil is useless at his job. Getting lost or losing his things all the time, or just performing horribly at the task he's given. That's my Gil!"

    Pros: Token adorable; endearing; makes us look better in comparison
    Cons: Completely useless at everything; bad cook.

    Aydin
    aka Badass Knight
    [IMG]
    "Aydin is one of the Knights in my father's army. From what I've heard his job has something to do with looking for particular things. What those things are though? I can't be sure. The Knight comes across as a pretty level headed guy most of the time, but work makes him snappy."

    Pros: Badass; awesome horse; mysterious job.
    Cons: Condescending; possibly dangerous job.

  19. MulMizu Sassy Black Woman

    everyone has such....interesting head shapes.
  20. Jacquelle Hatoful Pigeon

    Hyde
    aka Mysterious Man
    [IMG]
    "I first met Hyde the day I skipped out on Appleby's studies. He's a bit stubborn and a lot useless, but somehow that's rather cute... Hyde's not very good at saying what he's actually thinking most of the time and he doesn't seem to have very good goals in life."

    Pros: Bad boy; goggles; flexible
    Cons: Dirty rotten thief.

    We can't date this hot tamale? I feel cheated!
  22. Jacquelle Hatoful Pigeon

    Clair
    aka Hot Library Babe
    [IMG]
    "Clair is a scholar from a nearby Academy who also works as a librarian in the castle. She seems a little off beat compared to most people, but then a lot of those bookworm types tend to be that way. Rumors have spread around the castle that Clair was very good at working with metal and always seemed to be lost in thought. "

    Pros: Intelligent; eccentric; deadpan snarker
    Cons: We don't swing that way.


    Edit: Clair's route is done!

    THAT'S A WOMAN
    BUT THAT MANLY JAWLINE WHAT THE FUUU

    Yeah until the "We don't swing that way," line I was convinced she was a dude. I even read 'she' as 'he' like I was in denial or something.
  25. Jacquelle Hatoful Pigeon

    Erol
    aka Badass Knight Wannabe
    [IMG]
    "Ah Erol-- it was impossible to live in the castle and not have heard of him. He made even the most kind hearted man want to crush his skull for being useless. Erol was one of the squires that started training to be Knights at the castle that year, but he clearly lacked ANY talent for the job."

    Pros: Good intentions
    Cons: Sulky teenager
  26. MulMizu Sassy Black Woman

    I LIKE EROL'S HEAD SHAPE AND FACE LET'S PICK HIM OKAY

    There is no way on earth that Hyde is a man.

    Anyway, romance Gilroy. The union will no doubt anger the royal family, which will cause them to outcast you. From there, you and Gilroy must lead the peasant rebellion, and given his incompetence, ultimate leadership will fall to you. Then lead the REVOLUTION to sweep away the cruel tyranny of the royal family and replace it with a whole new cruel tyranny; Yours.
  29. Jacquelle Hatoful Pigeon

    Delmar
    aka Token Weird Guy
    [IMG]
    "Delmar showed up in the castle around the same time as the visitors from Castle Pecok did, so it was a safe bet to assume that was where he came from. Although his speech pattern and looks didn't quite speak of Pecok royalty. Delmar always did seem to attached to that pond as well... "

    Pros: Good country people; eats straw; ~mysterious~
    Cons: Possibly a frog.

    I vote for Skyler because he's actually pretty sweet. Or for Clair.

    Or you know, we could do the secret character too. That's always fun.
  32. Dokosu Already Beat BF's New Expansion

    Wait, how did I not see this?
    Prepare for serial-liking.
    Edit: Romance Erol. I like his scar.

    Monica

    [IMG]

    Who needs a guy? Not us!
  36. Jacquelle Hatoful Pigeon

    Percival
    aka seeecret character
    [IMG]

    Pros: It's a secret!
    Cons: It's a secret.


    Edit: Percival's route is done!
  37. Jacquelle Hatoful Pigeon

    And, just in case you hate Monica and want her to suffer, here's the BAD END picture:

    [IMG]

    Would you do that to her?
  38. MulMizu Sassy Black Woman

    Labcoat could STAB me with his chin.
    And if she ever had his babies, I mean. Do you know how much that would hurt during chi-
    I'll stop THE POINT IS violent faces is not the answer.

    Voting is open indefinitely; route with the most amount of votes gets done first, route with the second amount is second, etc.

    Apparently we have the same exact taste, because those were the three I voted for.
