About Royal Affairs
Return to the exclusive boarding schools of Creme de la Creme - this time as a royal! Work hard, study hard, and play hard as a royal in training at the exclusive Archambault Academy. Will you rule the roost, or be a royal disaster?
Royal Affairs is a 482,000-word interactive novel by Harris Powell-Smith, set in the world of Creme de la Creme. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
As the middle child of a royal family, you've led a sheltered life in the palace, but now you must spread your wings and prepare for your royal responsibilities. Term is about to begin at Archambault Academy and it's time for your big entrance.
Everyone knows your name, everyone has an opinion on what you do, and everyone views you as the face of the new generation of royalty. You’re being courted by every club and social group on campus; and there are countless students who would love to be your friend - or more.
Meanwhile, outside your school’s ivy-covered walls, trouble simmers across the country as activists fight to open voting rights beyond the aristocracy. You can use your influence to sway the Parliament’s decision - but in which direction?
Will you flaunt your fame, or retreat from the spotlight? And if you do seek publicity, will the papers love you or despise you? Will you honor centuries of royal tradition and follow the path that your mother the Queen has laid out for you, or be a force of change, leading your country in a new direction as you break free of the expectations laid on you all your life? How will you navigate intense family ties and political upheaval to come out on top?
Oh, yes, and there’s also the foreign royal that your mother wants you to marry. Who is in your class. And who happens to hate you.
Will you embrace responsibility or forge your own path?

Reviewing (mostly) every game (or DLC) in my library, part 550: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆☆ (7/10) I can't help but feel a tad disappointed after finishing [i]Royal Affairs[/i], Harris Powell-Smith's fourth work published and third in the [i]Crème de la Crème[/i] ("CdlC") universe. I honestly couldn't say why. It's technically sound as CdlC with a lot of branching, and the cast of ROs are plentiful and more fleshed-out. There's also an addition of your royal family, consisting of your mother, the Queen, your older princess, the Heir, and your younger brother. The new political addition to the school slice-of-life is light enough to be enjoyable instead of preachy. But I didn't love [i]Royal Affairs[/i] as much as I thought I would. I think it was because (a) Powell-Smith had to develop two plots in conjunction, which weakened the school setting, and (b) there wasn't enough time to get attached to the cast. I also has some problems with my chosen RO (Javi) and their romance. [b][h2]Pros:[/h2][/b] ✅[b] Cast[/b]. Powell-Smith has included another large ensemble cast, and from the limited amount of time I had with them, I really enjoyed them. Asher is your bodyguard and is the classic golden …10 found this helpful
友情提醒这个系列的阅读顺序为creme de la creme（学生主角，校园设定）——noblesse oblige（非校园设定，家教主角。这部可以在choice of game app上看广告免费玩）——royal affair（学生主角，校园设定）——honor bound（保镖主角，校园设定）。每一部都是独立的故事，不需要玩每一部作品才能看懂剧情，但共享一个世界观，前作角色会在续作出场。 喜欢creme那部的话大概率也会喜欢这部，换汤不换药，creme主角风评被害后忙着挽救社交地位，这部主角皇族出身纯人上人，继承皇位的大任也又老姐顶着，完全有随心所欲的资本。日常就是上上课，比比赛，后期还有是否推进投票权分配到每一个公民身上的政治立场事件。可攻略对象的配置也和creme差不多，Asher基本上是升级版Karson，Javi比Blaise正常一些但也是治疗低血压良药，Beaumont和Hartman生态位差不多，这部里姐妹学校的几个LI比creme里出场机会更多一些。个人感觉技能检测方面creme比这部宽松一些，但这部里的LI比creme更有活人感，可以感受到作者是在进步的（但不知为何还是creme更读者受欢迎一些）。就算对剧情不感冒，光是为了Asher也是值得一玩的。2 found this helpful
[h1]ROYAL AVERAGE[/h1] Royal Affairs is an interactive text-based novel (or interactive fiction, if you prefer) written by Harris Powell-Smith. Having read the author’s previous works, I can clearly recognize the recurring writing patterns - and I’m not particularly a fan of them. The game handles its slice-of-life elements very well, and they’re the main reason it might be worth checking out. The romance, however, is just okay - nothing to write home about. Unfortunately, the frequent need to insert big, dramatic "moments" just to make the player feel important ends up detracting from the overall plot. Overall, it wasn’t the worst seven hours I’ve spent, but I’ll probably forget about Royal Affairs within a week. [b]It’s a very average game[/b] - some aspects work well, while others fall short. I’d recommend waiting for a significant discount if you’re considering playing it. [b]World[/b] Royal Affairs takes place in the same universe as Creme de la Creme and Noblesse Oblige. The story unfolds just a few years after the events of those games, so you’ll occasionally hear about or even encounter some familiar characters. The game also gives you the option to import your saves fro…2 found this helpful
