About The Reeve
You are an Administrator serving your probationary period in a medieval town. Make decisions to affect the town's reputation, order, military and supplies. Choose wisely to deal with bandits, famines, cultists and plagues. The most difficult choices will decide the fate of your town!
Long, long ago, there was a large island south of a kingdom. You are an Administrator tasked with running one of its towns. Your 4-week probationary period will be riddled with adversities. Economic crises, bandits, a dreadful plague and a hostile indigenous religion all threaten to dismantle your little town. You will have to make decisions in the face of each hardship. Your choices will decide your fate after 4 weeks. Choose wisely.
Each decision will affect stats including reputation, order, military and supplies. Low numbers on any of these may indicate your town's eventual demise. Predict which stats will be affected by how much before making your decision using your best judgment.
The island's Governor is a very impatient man. He will not hesitate to strip you of your power if he disapproves of your policies. Gain the peoples favor and make the most of troops and supplies to get through your probationary period. You won't be alone. Work together with allies to overcome various hardships.

Pretty neat game based on choices and managing resources. I just wish I'd be able to skip dialogues faster while going for the remaining endings. The choices are trial and error (so no randomness in that regard, tho the encounters' order is random), but you have a general idea of what you can expect from the prompts, but sometimes they aren't as useful, and the game does the completely opposite of what you thought it was gonna do.3 found this helpful
A very simple choose your own adventure style game but it's composed of: A thing happened, what do you do? A thing happened, what do you do? A thing happened, what do you do? etc.1 found this helpful
Interesting stories but too short...
Simple fun for few hours. You essentially pick choices to various crises that span four weeks, or four chapters. With your allies gained carrying over for later chapter. It boils down to ultimately having right resources available at the end of a week for the right crisis, something you get the hang of pretty fast once you play the game. It's not too long, about 30 minute ish for one play trough unless you are slow reader, well worth the cost for the somewhat unique experience. There are also multiple different endings, so there's some replay value, although you do learn which choices are "good" ones pretty fast, which reduces the enjoyment after first run or two.
