    A good story and interesting setting wasted on a bare bones visual novel that has no voice acting and only basic animations, if you just want to read a fiction book, good for you.
    If you play with the consequences hidden you will reach true death or be locked out of most options to an inevitable disappointing end without knowing why or how you could have changed that, otherwise, with the    A good story and interesting setting wasted on a bare bones visual novel that has no voice acting and only basic animations, if you just want to read a fiction book, good for you.
    If you play with the consequences hidden you will reach true death or be locked out of most options to an inevitable disappointing end without knowing why or how you could have changed that, otherwise, with the consequences at display, you will do things just to max your stats because you have to go the extremes to not be locked out of options.    … Expand

    This is a visual novel paired with a constant game of russian roulette, masking as choices and even touting a full blown skill system that does essentially nothing. In the end of the day you get to read a passable story with decent presentation- if you are lucky and don't die prematurely, but don't think too long about your path or how to manage your skills.

    More than once I was reminded of early 80's text adventures where gameplay went along the lines of "go west - you get eaten by a monster and die, GAME OVER", only with a lot more useless foreplay.

    The "game" will mercilessly railroad you because doing meaningful choices and having actual different outcomes in a story is hard. Lying about game mechanics in a trailer and having a blast with your 20 $ is a lot easier.    … Expand

    You can call it perfection. The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante is a brilliantly written story, which lets you fight your own demons or embrace them as a part of yourself. Be the Sir Brante you want to be!

    We certainly did not expect this story-driven, narratively focused game to be as good as it is. Its world is truly original, the characters inhabiting it feel lifelike and the whole game, with its book-like treatment, is simply marvellous to look at.

    A decent text-based RPG with a disappointing illogical ending.
