Our take on Creme de la Creme
The school-drama framing may suggest a conventional romance story, but the central structure covers academic ambition, reputation, family standing, cliques, sabotage, internships, and hidden secrets. Its entirely text-based format also makes imagination and reading the primary means of experiencing the story.
What is Creme de la Creme?
Crème de la Crème is a 440,000-word, text-based interactive novel set at Gallatin College, a finishing school for wealthy young people.
After the protagonist's parents fall from favor, enrollment becomes a route to restoring the family's reputation and securing a future. Choices determine whether the character focuses on academic results, social connections, romance, reputation, or scandal. Players can form friendships, sabotage classmates, join college cliques, pursue university or competitive internships, investigate the school's secrets, and decide whether to expose or conceal them. Character options include male, female, or nonbinary identities, along with gay, straight, bisexual, monogamous, polyamorous, asexual, and aromantic paths. Relationships can include aristocrats, royalty, fellow students, or people of lower social standing.
