Make your soap opera.

Enjoy the stunning visuals.

Replay episodes and choose other decisions.

Have you ever dreamed of being the star of your soap opera? You don’t have to travel to Hollywood to do that. You can play Linda Brown on Facebook and mobile device.

Linda Brown is a cross between collectors’ editions of Big Fish games and the choose-your-own-adventure books you typically read as a child. It has an air of mystery and romance. Most of all, it is a love story. In the game, you are Linda Brown, who’s caught in a love war with multiple gorgeous men. You are a superstar – a singer actually – who also gets the chance to travel the world and thus interact with a lot of other virtual people.

The entire story is divided into chapters, which is usually about 20 minutes long depending on how you play the game. There will be a lot of dialogues and, the most important of all, decisions to make. You will know if it’s decision time when the screen shows you a couple of options. Choose one, and that’s what the characters will do.

Individual decisions, especially big ones that may require flashbacks, would cost a couple of diamonds. By default, you have 35. If you use this up, you can add more diamonds by buying them in bundles with real money.

You will also get to interact with objects, like reading or sending messages on a mobile phone or choosing the best swimsuit while you’re in Brazil. It tries its best to make you feel as if you’re in the story.

Surely, you’ll be curious to know what will happen if you select the other option. To resolve this, the game allows you to go back to your completed level (or episode) for free. Meanwhile, you cannot skip an episode, but you can pause the game or close it. By the time you’re back, it will begin where you left off.

One of the gems of Linda Brown is its visuals, which are reminiscent of the hidden-objects games of Big Fish. They are visually appealing and stunning. The attention to detail is impeccable. Where else can you find virtual characters who look like sleek Hollywood stars? The graphics and animation alone are enough reason to give this game a try.

If there’s an issue with it, it will be its buttons. To let the conversations flow or interact with objects, you need to click appropriate buttons, which usually appear on the left side of the screen. They can sometimes be unresponsive and frustrating. They also lengthen your gameplay. Not everyone may also appreciate the fact dialogues appear per line. This sometimes makes a scene dragging.

But Linda Brown knows not only how to tickle your fancy but also how to keep your curiosity going. You want to know what happens next and what kind of impact your chosen decision will have on the story and the character. These will fuel your gameplay you want to hang on until the end.
