Vying for Versailles Season 1 walkthroughs

**Welcome to the Vying for Versailles walkthroughs.**
This page features the walkthroughs for **Season 1**. Click here if you are looking for walkthroughs for other seasons.

This is an ongoing book and this page is a work in progress.

**What are walkthroughs?** Walkthroughs are episode-by-episode guides that will reveal the effects each choice has on your character and the plot. Please note that these pages are always under construction as we learn more about each book.

Most choices you make for the Main Character in this book influence the following variables: **Altruism** 🍃, **Calculation** ♟️ and **Hedonism** 🍷

**PLEASE NOTE:** choices that have no significant effect on the plot (as in, no effect on game points and statistics) or that do not give interesting information on characters or backstories might have not been included in the walkthroughs.

Premium choices that require in-game currency to be unlocked are marked by a 💎 diamond symbol. Quick choices that are timed are marked by a ⏰ timer symbol.

Your reputation in court will influence two new stats for Season 2: **Bright Influence** ☀️ for a good reputation and **Dark Spycraft** 🌑 for a bad reputation. Although these stats don't show up in Season 1, the icon next to certain choices indicates how your pick will influence your reputation. In contrast to other stories, having a bad reputation is not a punishment, just a different way to approach matters at court with a more outspoken and independent MC.

**DISCLAIMER:** due to the very intricate nature of this game, where every choice you make sets into motion a complicated series of consequences, there are many possible game routes and scene combinations. As a result, the walkthroughs on this wiki might not be exactly identical to your game experience. If you experience something that is *not* covered in our walkthroughs, please leave a comment so we can update the page and add an extra possible route to our wiki.

**Also please note:** The descriptions of the scenes included in these walkthroughs might be paraphrases of what happens, so please don't take them as word by word copies of what is said in the book.
