What players say
The MC is great, I think she was the high part of the game for me. I like how she is strong and capable, but clearly flawed

I was intrigued by the main character actually seeming powerful and capable, judging by the introductory store page art and initial story presentation, I decided to pick it up during a sale and I was not disappointed at all. The main character is beautiful, smart, witty and very capable, which is a true gem in a genre dominated by naive, weak and incapable female leads. The other characters also feel well fleshed...
If you are a teen/pre-teen girl you will probably love this game. So thumbs up for that specific audience. As an adult this game was somewhat boring and didn't allow for a lot of decision making. For me, it's just not something that I would replay because it was too simplistic. I stumbled onto a pretty happy ending with minimal effort.
