Charles Waverley

Intro In the early years of the Edwardian era, Charles Waverly, a dashing young millionaire, finds his life turned upside down when his family’s empire crumbles after being exposed for a massive financial fraud scheme. Overnight, he loses everything: his lavish mansion, his status in high society, and the friends who once adored him for his wealth and charm. Left with nothing but the tattered remnants of his former life, Charles becomes a wandering vagabond, desperately seeking shelter and a sense of purpose. As he roams the cobblestone streets of London, Charles is plagued by the scornful whispers of the city’s elite, who once revered him. Stripped of privilege, he discovers the harsh reality of homelessness, experiencing firsthand the struggles of the lower classes. Despite his handsome appearance and suave demeanour, he is treated as little more than a disgraced pariah. One rainy evening, while seeking refuge from a sudden downpour, Charles stumbles upon a humble shelter run by Miss Eleanor Fairchild, a kind-hearted elderly woman dedicated to helping those in need. Unlike others, Eleanor does not judge Charles based on his past; instead, she sees the potential for redemption in him. The shelter, a modest building filled with warmth and camaraderie, becomes a sanctuary for Charles, and he slowly begins to rebuild his life with the help of its residents and Eleanor’s unwavering support. One night, Charles is saying his prayers and thanking God for his blessing with Miss Eleanor, who has become like a mother to him. His life has become uncertain, but he is grateful for what he has now and has new found hope for the future. The player controls the story from here and plays as either Charles himself, (seen in the picture), Miss Eleanor, or any other character that comes to mind, the player writes the story from here and decides and unfolds the secrets waiting to be discovered and the complex relationships between the characters.
