    Wow did I not expect this story to have as much depth as it did. In all seriousness I bought this on The whim to have something casual and easy going to kill time. The concept of this seemed stupid but I'd give it a shot. Turns out that the story delivered was just outrageously good. There's drama, back stabbing, affairs, wars, politics, etc. Etc. Just stuffed full of ideas and storyWow did I not expect this story to have as much depth as it did. In all seriousness I bought this on The whim to have something casual and easy going to kill time. The concept of this seemed stupid but I'd give it a shot. Turns out that the story delivered was just outrageously good. There's drama, back stabbing, affairs, wars, politics, etc. Etc. Just stuffed full of ideas and story telling that went above and beyond then the silt concept I bought this for. The humor was excellent too, like absolutely got a few chuckles out of me, what kept me though was the amazing characters and the quirky ways they were fleshed out through this silly game mechanic. For what this delivered it was excellent and far exceeded my expectation, what a creative way to deliver a story.… Expand

    To be clear, Astrologaster probably isn’t for everyone. Humour is, of course, very subjective…and that’s without even factoring in the choral music. But if you’re looking for a game that’s completely unlike anything else out there, look no further, because this is definitely it.

    Astrologaster is an incredibly original and fantastically designed experience that really captures the feel and tone of the Renaissance. From the impeccably researched astrology diagnoses to the infamous postscript of ‘coitus after consultation’ this is the most accessible way into the world of Simon Forman you could ever hope to find. Whether you mean to or not, you’ll certainly learn something about one of the most eccentric characters in Renaissance London – just don’t follow any of the medical advice. Trust me, I’m a doctor.

    Astrologaster is a light comedic take on Elizabethan England, with all of its nonsensical religious and social hang-ups exposed to ridicule. Occasional hints of more serious social commentary add some depth, but the astrology mechanism is under-utilised.
