Varied types of role play; great sense of place
Loved the character customization. Setting is rich, fun. Would love more in this vein but it’s a niche sell, isn’t it? This is a fun game to role play espionage, romance, the arts. The major downside has been pointed out in other reviews; subsequent replays aren’t as rewarding simply because the types of endings don’t change much. It’s great fun to play around with the flavor, though. Helps when the writer knows how to set a scene. Great mix of grandiose and down-to-earth, so it’s not too somber (and therefore pretentious) or silly (there’s still a nice sense of purpose). Should capitalize more on the music—just go full ham on the theme next time and don’t be afraid to iron out a greater number of endings, even if they’re short!

Compelling!
I've played this one several times over to get my "ideal" run - still haven't managed it yet - and every time the story is so beautiful and engrossing, and oh, the ending gets me every time.
I Can Hear My Genius!!!
The detail in the writing of this choice game is absolutely enthralling. I replayed this story multiple times and depending on how i stated my genius and my instrument I had melodies running around in my Own head! Try it and you will be wrapped in this story. Totally unique and unlike any other choice story I've read ever! Nicely done. 😁

Meh
The choices don't seem to matter save perhaps at the end. The romance with the Countess was unsatisfying, and most of the characters were forgettable, indeed when they popped up later they were I unremembered.
Effort went into the story, the premise had promise, but it was kind of mediocre in execution. The writer has potential, keep writing, just involve the reader more in what is going on.

Lovely game
Absolutely adored the story and characters. The game is also great for its replayability.
Possible bug, but fun.
Over all I enjoyed the game. I enjoyed the different characters and had no issue romancing anyone. As someone who loves clothing; I loved the challenge of the outfits. There wasn't much leeway in the storyline, so the replay wasn't enjoyed as much for me. Small choices did change a line or two in the epilogue, but nothing drastic. It feels like this is a new, first time thing for the author.
There might be a possible bug in the game because when I attempted to play as a straight-female (I like to try all the options); the main female romance was always an option for me. I actually ended up with her (and lived happily ever after) without trying during one run- which surprised me.

Beautiful story with some inaccessible options
Fantastic story. Very well written and gorgeous descriptions that made you feel like you were actually there. I will say that the replay ability is a little weaker since it always seems to come back to the same sort of ending. Plus it feels like there are times when options are put there that are impossible to access because of where you are in the story which is frustrating (romancing a character is VERY difficult and so far I've only been able to do it with one of them after a few replays). Still, it's a really engaging storyline and hope to see more different stuff like this from Choice of Games soon!

Wow,
I was stunned by the choices and pure genius of the story,bravo!
This is amazing
It has been a while since I found a great choice game like this. The writing was nice and I liked the idea of the Genius. (I also felt some feels at the end of that. Been a while since I felt anything from these games. )
