  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is set in a cool environment with a neat premise, but it suffers from a lack of depth and coherence, featuring two-dimensional characters and a disjointed plot. While some players found enjoyment in the scenarios and their responsiveness to choices, many criticized the overall blandness and lack of focus in the narrative. Overall, the storyline is considered dry and unengaging, leading to a mixed reception among players.

    • “There are not a lot of variant plot options, but the way that the scenarios respond to your stats and choices is extremely well thought out.”
    • “I actually really enjoyed this story.”
    • “However, the characters seem pretty two-dimensional, and the plot is short and very disjointed and needs some smoothing over.”
    • “The plot was bland and felt disjointed.”
    • “There isn't much to say about it: there is no coherent story, there are no interesting characters, and there are very few situations when you really have to consider every option.”
  • replayability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers high replayability due to its engaging setting, diverse NPCs, and the ability to explore multiple moral paths, allowing players to experience significantly different character arcs based on their choices. This openness enhances the overall replay value, making each playthrough feel unique.

    • “The setting is juicy, the NPCs are great (if a bit exaggerated), and there is lots of replay value.”
    • “The replayability value is pretty high, too, as different choices end up producing a meaningfully different character arc for your thief-taker.”
    • “I also like the fact that you can play both sides of the law and even end up somewhere in the middle; it really made the game feel more open and adds replayability value.”
    • “It does have some decent replay value though.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
