  • Excellent writing and engaging story that pulls players into an alternate history steampunk setting.
  • Meaningful choices with significant impact on story flavor, multiple endings, and high replayability.
  • Inclusive character creation options, including transgender and gender fluidity choices, handled tactfully and integrated into dialogue and story.
  • The story is generally considered too short and ends abruptly, with an unsatisfying or rushed climax leaving many loose ends.
  • Repetitive and frequent gender affirmation prompts were seen by some players as excessive and intrusive to the narrative flow.
  • Some players felt the price was too high given the game's length, and a paywall after a few chapters limited free exploration.

    The story is praised for its phenomenal writing, engaging political intrigue, meaningful choices, and well-developed characters, making it immersive and enjoyable. However, many reviewers felt it was too short, with an abrupt or anti-climactic ending and uneven pacing, which diminished its overall impact. Some also noted that extensive focus on gender options felt unnecessary or heavy-handed, detracting from the central narrative.

    • “The writing is phenomenal, and definitely pulls you into the story.”
    • “Meaningful choices, within a brilliantly written story, containing well-rounded characters.”
    • “The story was very engrossing and the characters and relationships were incredibly interesting.”
    • “The paid portion of the story is anti-climactic and not very intense as it lacks any prolonged building drama into a crisis crescendo plot.”
    • “The whole story hints at a big climax, only to give you a 'five years later' and have it be glossed over in the epilogue.”
    • “The story ended up being rather dull and it completely put me off when I had to reaffirm what 'gender' my character was multiple times.”

  • replayability

    The game offers excellent replayability through multiple romances and endings, encouraging players to explore different paths. However, some feel the experience is somewhat rushed, especially toward the ending. Despite its short length, the variety of options provides strong replay value.

    • “Lots of replayability, though it does feel a bit rushed in places, particularly the ending.”
    • “Multiple romances and multiple endings are possible, giving great replay value.”
    • “It is very short, and I would have adored a little more focus on the romances, but the replayability value of this is incredible.”

    • “Top tier writing, choices seem to matter a lot, and things make sense mechanics wise.”
    • “I don't think there's any problem with the sparse ending if you fill in details with your imagination, though not for the sex scenes... you may end up feeling very dirty after playing this, but setting and gameplay-wise, it's a good game.”
    • “Loved the writing & setting but the gameplay was very frustrating.”
