About Important People of History: Presidents - Abraham Lincoln
Important People of History: Presidents - Abraham Lincoln is a visual novel that turns Lincoln’s life into an interactive biography. Set across three chapters covering his time as a lawyer, president, and emancipator, it blends archival photos with dramatized scenes. Developed by Washington D.C.-based Sunny Demeanor Games, it’s part of a trilogy of presidential games released in 2026 to mark the Declaration of Independence’s 250th anniversary. The game focuses on key moments like the Gettysburg Address and Lincoln’s assassination, using branching choices to let players shape his legacy. Short, text-heavy sessions lean into educational content, making it a niche pick for history buffs.
Gameplay
The game plays like a choose-your-own-adventure history lesson. Players read dialogue between historical figures, make decisions at key moments, and view curated photos (like Lincoln’s hat post-assassination). Each of the three chapters lasts 45-60 minutes, with minimal combat or action. Choices impact narrative paths but rarely alter outcomes drastically, most lead to factual events. Controls are simple: click to advance text, highlight options. The visual style uses static backgrounds and period-accurate illustrations. While some scenes reenact real speeches, the lack of deep interactivity or mechanics beyond dialogue trees might feel slow to casual players.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 84%, with critics at 76%. 28% complete all chapters, averaging 3h 45m playtime. Community moods: 62% Curious, 29% Amused, 9% Disoriented. Positive reviews praise “fascinating narrative for history nerds” and “rare photos that feel like a museum tour.” Detractors call it “dry, too text-heavy for non-fans.” Critics note “a clever way to learn, but lacks the polish of modern visual novels.” The game’s completion rate drops sharply after the first chapter, suggesting some abandon it mid-way. No achievements or DLC reported, but 42% return for the educational content.
PlayPile's Take
A niche, educational pick for history enthusiasts. The $19.99 price tag matches its short length, offering dense facts without fluff. While it won’t satisfy players seeking deep interactivity, the curated photos and key historical moments make it a brisk, informative experience. Best for those who enjoy biographical content or want to own all three presidential games in the series. Not a must-play, but a worthwhile detour for Lincoln fans.
