Royal Switch – Version 0.17.1

Two people, born the same day, but in very different circumstances.
One is a Princess, born to rule.
The other is a peasant, born to live in obscurity.
They live very different lives, until one day the fates collide, and they meet, only to discover that they are identical in (almost) every way!
What would happen if they switched places?​

– Re-write in Chapters 1 and 2: Some people have complained a great deal about the setup scene (the one where Brigitte goes out to confront the guard and is expelled). Their main complaint is that it is preposterous. I have been quiet about this, because my response is this: of course it’s preposterous. But it has always been preposterous! Royal Switch is based on a children’s book published in 1882. For the most part, RS is loosely based on that story. But this one scene is the one most directly lifted from the source. Seriously, it is almost beat-for-beat. My feeling has always been this: if you don’t like this scene, you should complain to Mark Twain. Last I checked, he’s in Elmira, NY. I’m pretty sure he’s still there.
Anyway, I got tired of hearing about it, so I rewrote it. If you have played before and want to see it, you can go back and play Chapters 1 and 2. The setup is still somewhat preposterous (of course it is), but it puts Brigitte in a better light and sets up the personality of Francis the Guard more fully.
