Big Bad Wolf and Focus Home Interactive believe that it’s going to happen.

In the first chapter of the episodic The Council, our goal will be to find out what happened to Louis de Richet’s mother on the private island of Lord Mortimer – there will be some well-known characters too, such as Bonaparte Napoleon, or George Washington, two major historical figures of the late 18th, early 19th century.

The game will offer a unique Social Influence system. If we know what the other character’s weak psychological point or strength is, and we prepare before the confrontation, the game will reward us. In short: know the other person before you verbally confront them. „Failing an encounter does not mean ‘game over,’ and no action can be taken back. The consequences are permanent and may result in persistent physical disfigurements or mental traits that help or hinder the rest of the player’s adventure,” the press release says.

Diplomacy, occultism, investigation – we can use multiple approaches via fifteen skills, according to Focus Home’s press release. The first episode will launch on March 13 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
