BIGWIGS: Transvestites Climbing the Corporate Ladder

Story
Deandra (born Dean) is a transvestite who has always dreamed of owning her own garment business. As she works her way up the corporate ladder, she must balance her work and private life, all the while maintaining her pride and staying fabulous. Old demons will haunt her and new challenges will test her. Is her wit and can-do attitude enough to keep her afloat in this cut-throat world, or will corporate life be a major drag to her dreams?

Characters
http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq12 ... eandra.png[/img] Deandra Driver: Our hero / heroine. Deandra is a businesswoman who started and owns a small clothing line. She takes pride in her work and customers love her bubbly personality. With a recent surge in popularity and the unexpected interest of a prominent executive, could her business become a bigger success than she had ever dreamed?

http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq12 ... nziska.png[/img] Franziska Hartshorn: The devil sports a fiery flip do. Rival and fellow transvestite, Franziska was a classmate of Deandra's in business school. Franziska found quick success in the business world using a host of seedy practices. Though acquitted, she was recently tried for arson when a rival clothing store was razed. Deandra hadn't seen Franziska in years, but the two were recently reacquainted when Deandra caught Franziska hanging around outside her store.

She prefers a mostly private life, but her reputation is well known - ruthless. She has taken a recent, unexpected interest in Deandra's small business. Even more unexpected is the apparent tenderness she has shown. Is her interest genuine, or are ulterior motives at work?

From the characters and screenshots, I think the game looks fabulous. You should explain more about the game though because I don't know how this will turn out.  Do player just make a decision by answer the multiple choices question like in the screenshot only? How can player control Deandra's life?

Whoops, guess I should have explained the gameplay better. It's mostly text-based and you progress by choosing the business actions you want to take. Most require time and/or money, and can include things such as making your own clothes, purchasing inventory from another company, hiring people, opening and managing additional stores, investing in stocks, etc. As you progress more options become available to you and sometimes people come to you with proposals. You'll make goals and deadlines as you progress depending on how you play, which can include things such as filling a quota or maintaining a certain net profit.

Managing Deandra's personal life works in much the same way. Decisions you make can affect relationships, and goals such as fulfilling an obligation to a family member or going on a date and having it go well may appear. Much of the game revolves around balancing your professional and personal lives, and oftentimes one will affect the other. The story unfolds as you complete the goals you create, and may change depending on your actions. Hope that clears some of the confusion, and thank you for the comments!
