The Council takes players to a private island off the shores of England in 1793 and centers on the disappearance of Sarah Faustine de Richet, who leads a secret society known as the Golden Order.
No, The Mad Ones is an early indication that Big Bad has tapped into something special, which could allow The Council to set a new precedent for episodic gaming if all five episodes rival - or surpass - each other in the same high quality as its opener. From Episode 1: The Mad Ones’ fantastic opening to its exciting conclusion, it’s clear that The Council is not a simple case that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Big Bad retains different aspects of Telltale’s tried-and-tested formula for The Council’s foundation, but then the studio puts its own unique signature on episodic gaming. It’s exactly what developer Big Bad Wolf achieves with its latest outing, The Council.
Now, several studios are reimagining Telltale’s classic formula and elevating episodic gaming to new heights. The Tales from the Borderlands and The Walking Dead developer became a powerhouse force for episodic gaming - not to mention a household name - helping to establish its credibility with critics and turning it into a much-loved experience for many people. It’s not uncommon to hear about a new episodic adventure title developed outside of Telltale Games’ sphere of influence.
