The Haarlem-based (The Netherlands) indie games publisher Iceberg Interactive and San Francisco-based (the US) indie games developer Joy Manufacturing Co, are today very happy and thrilled to announce that their diplomatic dating sim/VN “Ambition: A Minuet in Power” is coming to the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop on July 14th, 2022.

Dress to impress, deceive, eavesdrop, and fall in love. Players have the opportunity to find wealth, romance, and vengeance with a cast of unforgettable characters. Will they persuade the passionate priest or woo the wealthy widow? Whoever strikes their fancy, it’s up to them to find a way through Parisian etiquette and the coming revolution.

Be charming or cunning. In Ambition: A Minuet in Power the players’ decisions will alter the course of history. Whether they engage in gossip or plot revenge, their plans should always keep the coming revolution in mind. After all, it’s better to be on the right side of history than on the wrong side of a guillotine.

18th century Paris is a city of love, lies, and revolution. You are Yvette – a woman of fashion left to fend for yourself in Ville De L’amour when your fiancé Armand disappears.

A Cast Of Unforgettable Characters
Fall in love with a sprawling cast of fully realized characters. Enjoy the company and learn the secret histories of mysterious priests, wronged soldiers, wealthy widows, and more! Discretion is key, careful application of charisma and finesse will unlock more than one path to victory!

Explore A Living, Scheming World
Use your calendar to plan your engagements each week. During your stay in Paris, the timing of your commitments is equally as important as who they are with. In a city marching towards revolution, time is of the essence, and don’t forget, your enemies have agendas of their own!

Love Is Power
Capture the hearts of Parisian nobles to use their influence to your advantage. Change the outcome of political events, snub your rivals, and enjoy the fruits of your labors with lavish and expensive gifts that increase your standing and credibility. Turn gossip into profit by selling the secrets you learn, but be careful! Your reputation and security are also at stake. The choices you make can yield great rewards and change the course of the story, but dire consequences could arise if you’re caught!
