Crème de la Crème – Climb to the very top of the class!

Is there a way to have Lady Renaldt arrested. I tried 2 times and didn’t work. Also are you supposed to refuse Lady Renaldt to get into the mines?

Try sabotaging her scheme from the inside, get another classmate captured. Make a big spectacle when you arrive at the graduation. I believe the you need a decent Intrigue score.

See answer from above. I did it once so hopefully I remember it correctly

Is it possible to get the achievement “Matchmaker” without entering into the polyamorous route?

I have a question I love this game!!! Also the question is how do you play as a sherlock Holmes or hercule Poirot type?..

Just finished my first play through and had a great time, I’ve been in and out of the game all day since I bought it this morning and after three or four restarts I reached a conclusion I was really pleased with! I’ve spent four hours and I’ve only done one route, this is going to keep me busy for a long time, I’m going to take a break and dive back in later. I was with Freddie and got a really sweet ending but I’ll play her route again because I accidentally didn’t end up engaged to her. I thought the monogamous choice would also lead to engagement and I felt a bit silly when afterwards when it didn’t. I need to pay better attention.

The whole thing was an amazingly emotional experience, there were times I had to walk away for a while before I could come back and make a choice. I did come back though, no matter how stressful the decision was. That can only be good for me since in real life I’m the most indecisive person on earth.

Anyway, thanks for an awesome game and a great read! I look forward to spending way more time in that world, that’s for sure.

Yes! If you don’t get engaged in Chapter 10, you can matchmake Freddie/Auguste or Hartmann/Auguste (the pairing depends on earlier a couple of earlier choices).

@StarWarsMaster I’m not sure what you mean? It’s not really a detective game, so I wouldn’t say there’s any way of being that sort of character really :laughing: But if you have high Wit (picking it as a strong skill in the prologue will give you a decent boost) you can be very academic, smart and notice little details, which you may enjoy?

@Sleepyowl I’m so glad you enjoyed playing! :sparkling_heart:

What are some of the choices that increase Popularity without dropping Poise, Intrigue, Virtue or Wit? I managed to get engaged to Rosario once (while attending Gessner, joining Birchmeier Society, and being a double agent against Renaldt in the investigation) , and am having trouble replicating the playthrough. Maybe I forgot some important choices?

Making sure Gallatin wins the creme de la creme and taking actions to support the school without too much cheating increased virtue enough for me to get Rosario’s adorable proposal scene on the first try.
For popularity I think my mc having high flair helped.

Some of the Flair choices also seem to drop Poise and Intrigue (which seems integral to getting good grades on the final, as well as convincing the inspector and others of MC’s allegations and evidence, while keeping Renaldt in the dark until she gets arrested).
Maybe Spirit should be my dump stat instead?:thinking:

I did note that my mc wasn’t a double agent and did get sent to the mines, as for good grades I got an A+ on the exam and a B in coursework (which still gets you into Gessner, if you focus on your exam results in your mc’s application essay) with wit and flair as well as high progressive and domineering respectively as my mc’s main stats.

Hi. Like many others, I’m really enjoying your game and I can’t stop playing it! So far, I’ve gone through about three ROs (I love Delacroix so much <3). And if it’s not too much to ask, can anyone share some of your experiences with Auguste? They’re stressing me out and I’m not sure how to react to their character Nvm. They’re not so bad after all :0

You don’t need high intrigue or poise to get a good grade on the final. I managed it with high flair and spirit. Poise was my dump stat. and I was able to work as a double agent while keeping Renaldt in the dark. I was also domineering, manipulative, and progressive. So I think those came into play aswell.

Also a bug (from the omnibus):

Would you send that screenshot to support (at) choiceofgames (dot) com, please? That’ll make sure it’s seen by the right people (I know nothing about how the omnibus works, though it’s delightful).

Honestly I found wit to be the most important stat when getting an acing finals - three of the exams (etiquette, athletics and art) have a wit choice. My MC who had both poise and intrigue as their low stats still managed to get an A+.

If you don’t wanna lose poise and intrigue I’d say make flair your dump stat. That or spirit.

Re popularity, winning creme de la creme and also helping gallatin win sports fes (don’t fail any of your checks and you should be good) gain you a ton. Rosario needs above 55 in both virtue and popularity to get the engagement

Why is this not available in my country? I was hoping to read this :pensive:

You could get the game through the CoG omnibus.

Are you in South Korea? I heard there were some problems with availability there?
