Come for the dress up, stay for the political thriller – Helix Waltz - Dress Up Drama Review
Helix Waltz is interesting in that it seems to be using the vessel of dress-up game in order to tell a complex story in a complex world. There are over 50 named characters at time of writing, and it’s easy for me to remember the names, appearances, and trivia for all of them.
PROS
- Tons of interesting characters, including the main character herself.
- A line of personal quests for every character.
- An easily-understood base mechanic that supports the rest of the game.
- Fascinating story and worldbuilding.
CONS
- Clothes are sometimes cheesy, over-designed, or difficult to pair up.
- The game wants you to spend $$$ on it (but it’s very easy to play without doing so.)
- The game is translated, so the grammar and sentences are usually somewhat weird.
- Glitchy sometimes.
