Prince of Suburbia

Prince of Suburbia is a kinetic novella for an adult audience, which focuses on the stories of the characters and their relationships. The player observes several story arcs, and interaction is reduced to reading and choosing options. The kinetic format means that branching is limited here: the author leads the plot, and the player’s role is to monitor the development and at the right moment determine how the characters will behave. The material is addressed exclusively to adults, and this is expressly stated. Presentation: text, illustrations, preservation. The length depends on the number of arcs, and it is more convenient to read in parts. There are no separate mechanics beyond dialogues, but there is a gallery. It is also worth noting that there is no usual branching here: the author leads the story himself, and the player only determines the details of the characters’ behavior. The material is intended exclusively for adults, and this is stated explicitly. The format is suitable for those who prefer to read rather than make decisions: there are a lot of scenes, text too, and saves allow you to return to any episode. The duration depends on how many arcs the player wants to go through. It is also worth noting that the authors paid attention not only to the scenes, but also to the dialogues between the characters. In addition to the main line, there are additional episodes available with certain decisions in the dialogues. The project is narrow in audience and does not pretend to be more. For those who are interested in this particular format and this topic, Prince of Suburbia provides clear and neatly collected material.
