While the plot is compelling and offers numerous branching paths, some reviewers noted a desire for deeper character development and backstory to enhance immersion. Overall, the writing is solid, with a mix of action, suspense, and romance that keeps players invested in the characters and their choices.
“The story is great, the characters interesting and well developed, the writing excellent, the pace is fantastic, it's immersive, and exciting.”
“A story packed with action, suspense and drama, from beginning to end.”
“All in all, however, the game is good, with engaging characters, an interesting pulp-Victorian world, and a plot in which one at least feels one's choices matter.”
“There has been one character that I will try to interact more with in a subsequent read, but I have still not seen much character building and wonder if they even have much written into the story.”
“I think that the backstory and more thorough interactions during some time off from the main quest would have done wonders, transforming fairly interesting stereotypes into fully developed characters living in a big, breathing world.”
“The writing itself, in my opinion, could be improved, since the narrative sometimes feels rushed due to a lack of description or attempts to set the reader in the current scenario.”
