    Beautiful Visual Novel with great soundtrack, great story (based on Cinderella), outstanding dialogues, complex and memorable characters and a bunch of choice & consequence situations. One thing the game shows very well - almost all things surrounding us are not black or white, they are different shades of gray.

    Terrible game. Wanted to like it, went into it with an open mind but every second dialogue is along the lines of "I can do this because I'm a strong woman", "aren't you a strong woman", "yes I can do everything a man can do, because I'm a strong woman", "oh wow I'm such a strong woman".

    It's so distracting after a while it's just the developers talking to you, it's not even a story anymore.

    You wouldn't play a game where the main character brags about "Yes, I'm such an awesome/strong/smart white/black/asian man" on and on and on...you'd be bored, a little annoyed and perhaps a bit offended. You wouldn't play a game either where the main character sprouts all day "I'm so good, I'm such an ethical Christian/Muslim/Buddhist" either. Pretty much the same here, it's developers pushing a "holier-than-thou" ideology onto you rather than making a game with a story.    … Expand

    It is an ok game. Though to me, it was not worth the time.
    It was good in the first hour of reading it, but I lost interest from the middle to the end. I was not too fond of most of the characters. The love interests were not that good. The reading got repetitive, and some of your choices were flat. However, I must say there were good things about the game. The art and atmosphere are    It is an ok game.

I loved that you can change cinderella's character. You can make her harsh and blunt, which is the opposite of cinderella in the movies and books.    … Expand

    With excellent writing, engaging storytelling, interesting characters, perplexing decisions, incredible visual style, and great music, Cinders is everything you could ever want from a visual novel and every fan of the genre should try it.

    A feminist interactive novel that will probably change the way you read the great classics to your children, but nothing that will change the world forever. The real downside is, however, its unbelievably high price (for what it is).
