Creme de la Creme

About

Creme de la Creme is a text-based RPG where you navigate the cutthroat world of elite socialites. You start at a prestigious finishing school after your family’s reputation crumbles, forcing you to juggle academics, romances, and underhanded schemes. Every decision shifts your stats, reputation, connections, grades, while interactions with peers and instructors shape your path. You can charm influential guests, sabotage rivals, or focus on academic excellence, but your choices lock you into different outcomes by the final exam. The game stands out for its sharp dialogue and satirical take on high society. Players praise the branching paths that let you play as a vengeful outsider, a cunning manipulator, or a reformed prodigy. With over 20 possible endings and stats that track your moral compromises, it leans into its comedy of manners premise without softening the consequences. The writing leans into over-the-top scenarios, like blackmailing a prince or winning a dance competition, that feel both absurd and fitting for its glittering, backstab-heavy world.

Storyline

Climb to the very top of the class at your exclusive private school for socialites! Will you study hard, find a perfect match, or embrace scandal?

When your parents fall into disgrace, the rest of high society rejects them. It's up to you to enroll at Gallatin, to secure your future and restore the family's good name. At Gallatin, you'll dance with royalty, impress decorated officers, and perfect your etiquette. What will you prioritize: a spotless reputation, a prestigious social network, or a pristine report card–and who will you backstab to achieve it? Your year in this sparkling, brittle world is about to begin. But are you a rake soaked in scandal, or a perfectly proper socialite? Sneaking out of class or polishing your ballroom dancing, either way: the road to high society starts here!
