Episode two of The Council, a narrative adventure game that redefines the genre with RPG mechanics and consequences for every choice, will release on May 17th. Hide and Seek continues the story of Louis de Richet as he deals with the dramatic results of his actions in episode one, released to press and player acclaim earlier this year.

He must continue his investigation into the disappearance of his mother, Sarah, while dealing with the newly-arrived Spanish head of state, the finally-revealed Lord Mortimer, and the quickly-forming factions on the island.

In the first screenshots for episode two, get a glimpse of brand new areas of the mansion to explore, along with new characters who bring dire news and shocking revelations to the island. Who will you side with? Who can you trust? And how will you find Sarah de Richet? The choices are yours in The Council episode two, Hide and Seek.

Need to replay the ending so I can get a better ending than the one I got the second time around (was hunting for trophies and lost access to my first save file).

The gameplay is interesting and I like how it turns dialogue choices into a battle of wits. Hopefully some of the writing has improved. Wasn't a big fan by how on the nose most of it was, and how sometimes it wasn't very good.

Looking forward to it. The first episode had its fair share of flaws and I expect at least some of them to still be there in the second (and probably all the way till the end) but I still had a good time with it and am curious to see how the story continues.
