This has quickly made its place into one of my very favorite IFs of all time. Maybe it is simply your writing style that tickles my brain just right, but I could not stop reading and was loath to put it down when I had to sleep. Watching MC grow up; have good times, bad times, great times, absolutely AWFUL times; all the number of choices and paths and branches; the sense of community I FELT from their family and friends and hometown...I was absolutely bowled over by this one and utterly adored the experience.
Folks thinking of playing this one, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do. It is such a full experience even though it is not done yet (as of the time of writing this comment), and I do not think you will regret it. It is a wonderful story with charming, compelling characters to match. While at the time of writing this comment I believe I am an Oswin girlie, every single LI is an absolute joy to befriend and learn more about.
Additionally, another thought occurred to me; another commenter, Mannsio, really summed it up by saying that this IF does an amazing job of instilling hope and joy but also frustration and helplessness and I 100% agree. But what I think really sets God Cursed apart is how even so, even despite how many choices are taken away from the MC (and by extension the player), you are still given so many choices to make (hence my comment about paths and branching).
Yes, there were times I felt MC's hopelessness and frustration, but never once in a way that made me want to stop reading (which can happen sometimes if I feel like things are just Simply Constantly Happening to the MC And Nothing You Do Matters). I find that God Cursed hits that sweet spot where yeah, awful things will happen to MC; these are inevitable. But you are given a wealth of choices that provide flavor but also substance! Sustenance! It's just so goddamn good!
ahem ahem anyways. This is one I'm going to be looking out for a LOT in the future ♡(ŐωŐ人)
