Chocolatier
Game Description
Chocolatier is a casual strategy video game with action elements that was developed by Big Splash Games and published by PlayFirst. Chocolatier was released as a download on May 1, 2007, and as a CD-ROM on September 27, 2007. Players take on the role of a young chocolatier who must travel to 14 cities around the world to buy ingredients, make chocolate confections, and sell them to chocolatier game shops. There are two modes of play: story mode, in which the player must rebuild an almost-bankrupt chocolate empire and acquire 64 chocolate recipes from around the world, and free mode, in which players begin with few resources and must become successful chocolatiers.
Big Splash Games, a trio of video game designers who remained employees while developing a prototype game in their spare time, created a chocolatier game as their first game. This prototype was rejected by publishers, but after coming up with the concept for Chocolatier, the team was signed up by PlayFirst and the title was completed. Chocolatier received mostly positive feedback, with reviewers praising the action minigame that plays when making chocolates, as well as Chocolatier’s graphics, sound, and Victorian-era presentation.

[title] Story
After the player creates a crew of characters, The Sims 2: Castaway begins on a boat. The crew can be made up of one to six Sims. Following the creation of the crew, a slide show of mobile phone pictures of the trip and the storm that wrecks the ship begins. The player’s first Sim awakens on Shipwreck Island’s First Beach. The Sim discovers books that detail the goals the Sim must achieve in order to survive on the islands and escape. Soon after exploring Shipwreck Island, the Sim discovers a second island, Airplane Island, which is much larger and more interesting than the first and constructs a raft to reach the new location. The Sim is reunited with some of their lost crew after arriving on the island. If the relationship is strong enough, the player can form a tribe of Sims. While exploring Airplane Island, the player discovers radio parts that are needed to complete a later-game goal. Volcano Island can be reached after the player finds the second beach on Airplane Island and constructs a canoe. The player will discover the remains of the llama people on Volcano Island. They have the option of building a boat or traveling to the volcano’s summit and using the radio parts to send an SOS signal to a nearby ship. The player can also repair a broken ceremonial forge on Volcano Island, causing a fourth island, Crystal Island, to rise from the sea, but this is optional and is not required for the player to escape the island. There are numerous discoverable secrets in The Sims 2: Castaway, including secret areas such as the Hidden Lagoon and the Secret Pirate’s Cove. These areas can only be accessed after the player has collected objects such as hieroglyphics and treasure map pieces, which is a lengthy process.
