by Charles Dickens
London and Paris, the years before and during the Terror, where a French aristocrat living under a borrowed name — Charles Darnay, revealed at his own trial to be an Evrémonde — falls in love with Lucie Manette, and a dissolute English lawyer who looks enough like him to matter watches from the edges. Saylia's playable adaptation carries you between a quiet London doorstep and a Paris where the Defarges keep a ledger of who the revolution still owes, through a wine-shop, a wedding, and a set of knitting needles that never seem to stop moving toward something. How close you get to the guillotine, and who you're standing next to when you do, is yours to find out.
