wanted to love this more than I did. the setting is so evocative. everything is undercut by the mid-2000’s time gated F2P mechanics.
of course, I can’t expect to play a game this dense for free, and I did pay the $9 subscription for a month, but content is still time gated with the sub, you just get double energy. never have I played a game that didn’t want to be played quite like this one.
had to tap out when I advanced my ambition storyline to the point where I was just grinding for resources and not even reading the prompts.
I am grateful to this game though, for introducing me to the other offerings from Failbetter and Weather Factory!

smoked that shit that made aeolian scream. (god I hope I don't leave this as the review)
It's free and the writing is fantastic, what more could you ask for? After reading some Chesterton for myself, though: Alexis Kennedy sure liked him some Chesterton.
Some of the best writing and stories that I have ever experienced in any form of media. If you're okay with a lot of reading, you owe it to yourself to try this out. You won't regret it. Just be sure not to Seek The Name unless you make a dedicated account for it.
in the real wordl you maybe a chad...

Grinding items in a text-based game is unhinged shit
I’ve got no idea how this continues to make money for Failbetter considering how much you’re forced to repeat storylets to level up your stats. It’s like gacha for poly people who like burlesque
