  • Amazing

    I am a big fan of the author’s books, so being able to play in such a cerebral game set in that world is sheer pleasure. Brilliant writing and difficult choices ensure I will be replaying this a lot. I was genuinely wracked at some of the choices I was making in the game, brilliant.
  • Fun

    Excellent writing — funny and suspenseful. Played through several times to change results. Great game.
  • Glorious, cutting, deep

    I replay this game every few years, and I'm surprised and impressed by Gladstone's writing each time. Really hard to recommend this game more. Excellent universe, realistic characters, useful structure, and tough choices. Give it a play!
  • A Universe I Can Get Behind

    A great, well-written game with a really unique world and interesting story—none of it felt tired. Magical lawyers are such a neat concept. Loved it so much I started getting into the related books, which are also great.
  • Fantastic book tie-in!

    🌈🦄💕
  • ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

    This was absolutely remarkable!!!! I was sucked into the lore immediately and really grew into my character's skin! All the characters were very believable - my guy started making out with Wakefield and it was the best - and I genuinely cared about all of them! I'm only disappointed that it didn't last longer!!!!

  • Love it

    I'm happy that I took the plunge into buying this game. Love the characters and their personalities. I adore the world the author created. This game led me to reading the Craft Sequence series and it's honestly life changing.
  • Loved it!

    Interesting, beautiful world-building. Lots of choices with consequences. A couple different romance options. Just over all a really fun game with a great story! I've played it many times.
  • Great! The First Time Around

    Literate, error-free prose that allows the reader some input in navigating the plot's myriad twists and turns.

    A bit disappointed in the depth and number of choice offered, however. Usually, I satisfy that craving by re-playing. The huge drawback to the series for me is the absence of bookmarks or chapter save points, even. To replay is to wade through pages and pages of text which does not change much if what I desire are subtle changes in approach to maximize (or minimize) trait scoring. Lacking that, at least inform us of how much charisma or craft, or whatnot we'd need for a particular choice selection.

    I'd still recommend as this story is like an economical novella that is written with skill and creativity.

  • Should've played sooner!

    I've played almost all COGs but I put off playing this one because the idea of playing a lawyer just didn't appeal to me. That said, this was a *great* game. The writing, setting, and characters are strong. The choices you make greatly affect the game experience and the ending. Your skills are fun and interesting, and there are plenty of relationships to explore. Yes, you play a lawyer but your clients and cases are just plain cool. There is plenty of engaging drama, and the end is very climatic and satisfying. I just finished it, and I look forward to trying again - it seems like there are many different endings. I liked playing this game a lot, and as many reviewers have stated, I really hope there will be a sequel or another game set in the same world. Definitely worth your time and money, give it a try!
