Time Princess

Time Princess

Media: Mobile phone game

Approx length: very long, if taken as a whole. Individual "stories" are a few hours, but being mobile games are subject to slow-down mechanics (energy, clothes crafting, raising companion bonds) - youtube playthroughs are by far the quickest way to consume a story

Where to find it:
Bri's Youtube Channel has a lot of playthroughs. I'll be requesting characters from Have You Seen Claudia? - Chapter One and Chapter Two

What is it, in summary?: Time Princess is a mobile dressup game with a heavy emphasis on crafting, events and minigames. The general idea is that the player character (Emma ) is similar to Sam from Quantum Leap in that she leaps into characters in stories in different time periods and helps the heroines survive their life crises, starting with Marie Antoinette. There's a meta-plota about saving the Story Kingdom from encroaching darkness. You breed cute kitties.

Like a surprising amount of dress-up games, the stories can contain mature, dark and violent content.

The characters I am requesting are from the story Have You Seen Claudia?. Emma leaps into a young architect in Chicago during the World Fair, who embarks on a search for her missing sister and gets caught up with a young female mystery writer, a handsomee butcher's boy -- and real life serial killer H. H. Holmes.

What do you love about it?: Pretty clothes, but for the sake of Yuletide, I really enjoy the twists and turns of the stories. For HYSC? specifically, I love Edith and her independence and search for her sister, the devoted eccentric Layla, and Layla's rivalry with Joshua over Edith's attentions. It's a delicious Gothic tale with great characters.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?:

f/f - Edith/Layla, because Layla is so clearly and adorably in love with and jealous of Edith

gen - Edith & Layla being dauntless investigators on other mysteries, with or without Joshua's assistance. (If you're aware of the twist ending, I am open to canon divergence on that).

Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?:

Each story is more or less independent, but requires unlocking. HYSC? is a pretty "easy" story in terms of crafting, but doing at least part of Marie Antoinette first helps. Youtube playthroughs are the easiest source of story.

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence):

For HYSC? - murder, kidnapping, torture, blood, mind-breaking, children in peril, refrences to gore, possible implied sexual violence, real-life killers (H. H. Holmes and Marion Hedgepeth) - other warnings such as eating disorders and sexual assault apply to other stories.
