The Cinderella Contract // Arithmetic

Overview | Story | Characters | Route Guides

The Cinderella Contract is a fairly recent English game by Arithmetic. This game offers eight different guys for you to choose from. They all have quite different personalities, although I find it interesting that appearance-wise, they seem to be matched up by country. When selecting a route, you must choose a country, which will then narrow you down to two candidate guys. Gameplay progresses by scenario tickets, with 5 free ones given out every day at 4:00am JST. In addition to making choices in some scenes, you also have Love Trials that require you to perform certain tasks to raise your stats in order to progress with the story.

I started playing this game at the same time as a bunch of other ones by Arithmetic, but this is by far my favorite. I was initially disappointed because I couldn't choose Asena to be my prince (BUT they recently released his route!!!). Overall, I find this game really enjoyable, and the graphics exceptionally well done.  The artwork in this game is just beautiful, and all the backgrounds and text boxes and other details are very well done, not just the main guys and the big illustrations. If anything, I actually thing the guys look better in their "normal" talking poses than in some of their illustrations where they're at a strange angle.

One thing that does disappoint me a bit is that once you finish the route, you can't go and reread your story unless you replay the whole route. I realize that's the nature of this type of game setup, but I think I'm spoiled by the way Voltage games work. I love the stories so much I wish I could just pay for them so I can sit and reread them forever.

=== STORY ===

You, a linguistically gifted correspondent, go with a client
to a party filled with foreign socialites.
Wait, are those hot socialites also princes!?
These gorgeous guys clamor around poor, disoriented you.
You let a prince escort you the rest of the evening, which passes like a dream.

Then, the next day...
You're about to fly back home, when you get caught up in an investigation!
Coming to your rescue is a prince from last night...!?
And what's more, he demands that you enter a contract marriage with him as thanks...
You can't turn down his command!

Will you find true love at the end of the aisle?
Or will you find...

=== CHARACTERS ===

>> Rossiyskaya <<
The wicked, sadistic prince: Yuri
This prince has a devilish side lurking under his sweet smile.
He claims it was love at first sight!? Not that you mind a prince saying he loves you...
But you just met him; how can this be...!?

The innocent, nurturing prince: Yelisei
Yuri's younger brother, the complete opposite in personality. Pure-hearted and always smiling.
You're happy to gain a nice little brother, but his childish, overbearing antics are a bit much!?
His large stature doesn't make you feel any safer, either...

>> Flanelia <<
The pushy, alpha-male prince: Claude
This blue-eyed blond would be a textbook-perfect handsome prince if he weren't so pushy and arrogant.
He pushes you to marry him and become a saint...
Everything is forcibly stolen from you...!?

The mysterious clergyman: Lugar
This cardinal is soft-spoken, but it's unclear what's really in his mind.
At the center of church politics, Claude opposes him and warns you to stay away...
But what if Lugar, suspecting you're not a true saint, comes to investigate...!?

>> Ingrays <<
The strong-willed hot-cold prince: Cyril
Is his rough, un-princelike speech just a way of covering his shyness?
He makes pretty bold statements, but his demeanor seems clumsy...
He says, ""you should just fall in love with me."" What's that supposed to mean...!?

The dynamic, older prince: Maynard
Rebellious Cyril's gentle, yet firm Dad.
Though his relationship with his son is strained, he's always nice to you...
You come to rely on him for his maturity more and more...?
