I'm Not A History Buff, But I Adore This Game

I knew next to nothing about the steampunk genre before and I know nothing about the 1800s. All of my knowledge of Napoleon comes from high school classes over a decade ago and if I had to take a quiz on it again, I'd probably fail.

And yet, I still thoroughly enjoyed this game. Very well done.

It’s fine

I’ve played a lot of choose your own adventure styled games. And this is fun but very short and has limited replay. It’s fine though I enjoyed it.

Good

A few typos, but nothing major. This is a pleasure to read.

Okay-ish

Pros: Strong writing and world-building.

Cons: Felt like I was constantly reaffirming my character's gender and sexuality and then not getting appropriate choices regardless.

Felt like I wasn't able to improve my stats effectively to face obstacles. Game ended abruptly and unsatisfactorily as a result of "choose the right option" at the end. (Didn't realize it was a skill check, so obviously chose the wrong one)

Superb Alternate Historical Romance!

I LOVE this game! As someone who has visited the places in the game and studied the history of the time period, it was a real treat to run around in this exciting alternate historical romance novella. I had so much fun! I didn’t know how things would turn out, and I still don’t exactly know how everything will turn out—so I will definitely be playing over and over again.
