I purchased this IN due to some positive reviews elsewhere. It doesn't have achievements to work toward, which is usually a negative point in my eyes, but I thought I'd give it a try based off those reviews and the fact the game markets itself as having a 4 hour play-through time. Well, first up, I've completed the game 3 times in those four hours, not counting the couple of time I got an early game over. Secondly, even when you take wildly disparate approaches to the game - and I'm talking as extreme opposite alignments as you can manage - the game barely changes, just one or two paragraphs here and there, and the epilogue (which frankly comes out of nowhere to end the game). Writing is, technically speaking, reasonably good for the majority of the game, although there were some idiosyncrasies that were a touch odd, and I genuinely enjoyed the romance options I've found even if I wish there was more exploration of them. The humour in character interactions is often also enjoyable. There's so much potential here, and I can see why the author got commissioned to write a different series of games, but this just feels like it was half finished when they threw in the towel.

Honestly, the ending is ruining the entire game. I actually got angry at it. Before, it is a decent game, but choices matter little, the corruption bar does nothing and its often hard to guess what the choice for your allignment is. Beside that its standard stuff. But then you get hit with a ending that straight up tells you that everything has been pointless and completly negates everything that happend bevorhead. And then you get an epilouge that is based on the renow statt and discribes something that has almost nothing to do with the game before. This would have worked better, it it would have been the story about revenge and its price that it seemd to be at first. This is honestly not worth the money.

This was a great game! I got it on my phone and got it here just in case I lost it on my phone. All I can say I wish there was a sequel.

What starts as a promising choose your own adventure story just executing strong fundamentals quickly devolves into a pointless and uninteresting shock twist with literally zero replay value.

nice story interesting twist

The first choice decides if you're male or female. The second choice decides if you feel pain like getting 'kicked in the balls' or 'smacked in the breasts'. If you pick the latter, this is the next screen: "You are a woman. Why yes, I'll try to be modest here. But your sensitive teats are stinging in pain that shoots through your entire nervous system. You brace your arms over your chest instinctively. "Hurry up! We don't have time for this!" It just gets worse from there. This is what it says when asking you to choose if you have siblings: "While your mother did a fine job of getting you out of her nether regions, were you the only one?" I bought the game awhile ago and stopped playing almost immediately but i'd forgotten why. Now I remember. Other reviews claim the writing is good and maybe it is, later, but this is perhaps the worst intro I have ever read.
