I played this demo two weeks ago and it was nice to scroll trough the site and see that the full game had been released. I would start by saying that the game isn't really a 20-30 hours game. Maybe more 10h for all routes. I am also a little bit disappointed in the lack of narrations? I feel like since we only got CGs with the LIs at the end of the routes there could have been more narration/description for the important moments, especially for all the kissing scenes.
But besides that, the routes were fun to play. It was nice to see how different things happened during each route, and I also really enjoyed how each route revealed more of the story.
To rate my routes I would say:
Thrace >> Aiden > Roxas >>> Iandir >>>>>>>>>>>> Kadan
Spoilers thoughts/questions/feedback:
- I really wish there had been an option to go back home and not have Kadan stay. I just wasn't able to forgive what he did, especially coupled with how inappropriate he was during the prologue. I really wish there had been a way to get Aiden without going through his route.
- I also wish we ended up having a route with King Ronan. He seemed really sweet and I am sucker for arranged marriage turned into happy ending. He accepted the MC decision so graciously each time. I really wanted a happy ending there.
- For one of the Iandir bad ending (when he doesn't take the potion) Ronan says the crow means death was that supposed to be for Iandir or Aiden?
- For the good ending with Thrace, we end up leaving with Aiden how does that work if no matter which routes we are on he's meant to die since we didn't choose him?
- I think there's a code error for the Mira route. I tried playing it and received an error.
- The walkthrough for the Roxas route is wrong for the cellar scene. It says any choice for the scene where he asks you to lock him in the cellar. But if you choose to refuse, you don't get to kiss him first, which then leads to a bad ending.
Despite all of that, I would say for the price of the game I think what I got was satisfying. I enjoyed both the good and bad endings! :)
