The story revolves around a predictable assassination plot against a queen, with players often aware of the conspirators while the protagonist remains oblivious. While the narrative is described as charming and engaging, it suffers from a lack of depth, shallow character development, and rushed pacing, particularly in the final chapters. Despite its shortcomings, many players find the experience enjoyable and are eager to explore different choices and endings in future playthroughs.
“Overall though, this was a really wholesome story and a good option for my first proper game of this type.”
“It took me 3 hours to play through the story once, and I will definitely be replaying to see what other courses you can take through the story and other endings you can have.”
“But it's a fun story to go through; I did my best to be a loyal, honest, and honorable man in the service of my queen.”
“The story lacks depth, the characters are shallow and mostly useless, the romances are forced and the development of the villains seems weird and uninteresting.”
“There were some points in the story where things felt quite rushed, especially in the last few chapters, and I would have liked a bit more in-depth narrative as well as some choices which I didn't take but which felt like they were left hanging in the narrative, so it would have been nice for some of those choices to feel resolved further down the line.”
“The story is weak and short.”
