Society, Socialites and Social Climbing

Recommendations by E.K.

Games where the protagonist has to navigate aspirational society in some way, whether it is an attempt at climbing the social ladder or avoiding those who seek to do so. Status, gossip, backstabbing and money are the orders of the day here.

"Hampstead" ( https://ifdb.org/viewgame?id=31l8q957yhpti0a5 ) might belong here - it's a curious adventure from the 1980s UK home-computer market, in which you begin as a tracksuit-clad dolite and the goal is to "achieve Hampstead" by amassing wealth and influential friends.

Ah, thanks for the recommendation. Can't play it currently but the description fits so well I will add it on anyway.

Another possibility is THE STATUE GOT ME HIGH where the player is a butler.

Hm, not a bad suggestion, I did play that a while ago and remember it being fun (even for a non-TMBG fan) but might need another run through before deciding whether to add it.
