As the story goes on, the choice you make, the people you talk to, and the answers you give, all come together and mould your specific journey. Their presence is unknown to him but one thing is for sure, it’s not a coincidence that everyone is there at the same time, Lord Mortimer is clearly planning something if he is to invite such prestige guests. Louis is not alone, upon arriving he discovers he is one of many invited guests, guests which include the likes of Napoleon Bonaparte and George Washington, not to mention a rather seductive Duchess and a crafty looking priest. However, Louis is contacted by Mortimer and invited to take residence on the island due to the fact his mother has vanished without a trace. She went there in search of the Azif, a sacred book that contains many ancient texts which need to be locked up safely to stop it from getting into the wrong hands. His mother had travelled to a remote island that houses but one mansion, a mansion that belongs to the rather mysterious and creepy Lord Mortimer. The Council is the story of Louis De Richet, a member of the elusive Golden Order and concerned son.

Unfortunately, sticking to the deadline meant certain bugs and issues were never fixed, something I hope is rectified now that the game is feature-complete. They let us know that we were expecting a new episode every two months and it never failed to deliver – so congratulations on that. However, The Council episodes were released almost eight weeks apart – I say almost because some were nine weeks.

Take Life is Strange 2 for example, part one came out in September and there still isn’t a release date for part 2, three months since release. The main reason I don’t usually like episodic releases is that they are released inconsistently and too far apart. First of all, I would like to congratulate Big Bad Wolf for their timely release of all five chapters.
