Siege of Treboulain

Curse my scheming cousin who who vies for my throne, who rubs his grubby hands when I have a misstep, who scowls when the masses adore me.

Yeah, so for a choice game, these are some of the worst choices, perhaps in anything ever. Cringy, nonsensical, and a two-year-old could provide more rational options. It seems like nothing you do is the right choice, no matter what you pick. Literally, one of the prompts is "offend x, offend y, or offend z" and there's nothing else to it. I'm a big fan of Jed on YouTube, but I think books are more his thing than interactive stories. It's not fun to play a game where every outcome path is similar to the following: "you're one of few people outside of this religious order who can perform this magic, so you should give a demonstration" -> *chooses to give demonstration* -> "Actually, you failed because you suck at it, and everyone laughs and walks away. I know we told you otherwise, but oh well, should've known better."

Generally an enjoyable and challenging game. I follow the author, Jed Hern on youtube and I value his instructions. One fatal flaw - the 'Gary-Sue' type character - got no Yearning for that one - a turd that won't wipe off.

The Dark Souls of books.

A very captivating story - played through it several times, enjoying every single playthrough. Although, i must say it feels... somewhat short for a novel? By the end i was still craving for more - although, perhaps, it is more of a compliment to the writers rather than an actual complaint.

Very enjoyable King simulator with multiple romances, much Medieval Romance and bloodshed. I love these games. Simple but much more complex than the ones I read as a kid. As everyone says about these games- your imagination is the greatest graphics processor in the world. There's no pictures but you leave with some great cinematic stories in your head. I like the pace, the build up and Treboulain begins to feel like a living city. Lots of these choose your own adventure novels are like speed playing The Witcher series or GTA or Baldur's gate. I grew up when climbing a tree was cool, though. I still do.
