Queen of Swords
| Author: | Jessica Knoch | | Genre: | Slice of life | | Released: | 2003 | | Review: | This piece leads the player through the experience of suiting up in electric gear for a fencing match. This might not sound like the matter of a thrilling game, but the implementation is extremely detailed, and there is help, in the form of an NPC who can be asked for assistance. The experience is a bit like going through a tutorial in the subject; as a set piece this would be out of place and long-winded in a longer game, but on its own it's fairly interesting.
