7 Times Game Developers Messed Up Historical Characters

The Council is an episodic adventure game with some point and click as well as RPG elements. We meet the main character, Louis de Richet, on his way to the manor of Lord Mortimer, the place where his mother seemingly disappeared.

Here, we're greeted with historical personalities, amongst tem Manuel de Godoy, Napoleon Bonaparte, and George Washington. The game drives on an Agatha Christie kind of narrative, in which you try to unveil the mystery of the council and find out the whereabouts of your mother.

With such a starstruck roster of history's best-known personalities, why choose someone as unknown as Elizabeth Adams?

Well, because in-game Elizabeth Adams is a psychologically damaged young woman. Her bipolar personality issue was medically as well as magically unsuccessfully treated.

So what did she do in real life? Well, literally nothing: the last daughter of the second President of the United States John Adams, was sadly stillborn.
