Extraordinary Work of Art
This is hidden gem on the App Store, an exceptional use of the app form to humorously recreate the life of a 16th century unlicensed doctor. It is, by turns, witty, sophisticated, thoughtful, and poignant, and contains some of the best writing, voice acting, and original music in gaming.
While the gameplay itself is underwhelming (mainly picking choices with slight guidance), the story and characters are a delight to play through.
A true treasure, and definitely worth your money if you love sly humor, Shakespeariana, or historical fiction.

I accidentally brushed the screen looking at options. No way to undo mistake.
You need a ‘confirm selection’ step. Other way is fun

Fun but flawed
This is a fun little game that’s rather silly in the best possible English way. However while the characters and happenings are entertaining, it fails as a game for lack of any prediction that can be derived as to how my answers will pan out.
Very often you will find yourself choosing something and getting an entirely different reaction than you ever anticipated, removing player agency and making the game less fun than it could be.
