The story presents a unique narrative where players guide a prince through an unfinished tale, making choices that lead to different romantic outcomes with either an elf named Elyon or a sorcerer named Yvoress. While the concept of reader involvement and the fourth wall break is praised, some reviewers note that the story can feel rushed and may not hold up under deep scrutiny. Overall, it offers an entertaining fantasy experience with appealing character art and a blend of romance and adventure.
- “You play as a prince who has an unfinished story to share with the reader.”
- “Will he find love and claim his rightful place on the throne, or will his story go unfinished? That is up to us as the writer of his tale disappeared without finishing his story.”
- “I like the unique twist of us, the reader, being the narrator of the story and the prince breaking the fourth wall, so to speak, at the start of the novel.”
- “There are dead ends in this game, and if this happens, the main character (the prince) will be confused and ask you to backtrack your story.”
- “The two stories do not intertwine until you play through once, and then the two alternate storylines will involve both Elyon and Yvoress in one playthrough together.”
- “The tracks themselves are instrumental and do fit the theme of the story, but overall I found them distracting.”
