An interesting adventure game, driven mainly by dialogue, and with just enough of an RPG infusion to give the illusion of character customization.

The use of historical figures creates some easy buy in, limiting the sense of being out of your depth as you are forced into a tight political battleground. Trading barbs with Napoleon and George Washington adds some weight to nearly all of the critical scenes in the game.

I'd have been happier with the game if I hadn't felt compelled to comb every inch of every chapter out of fear that I'd miss some crucial detail. The end result is, more often than not, running all over the map through empty hallways with nothing to show for your exploration.

Overall a solid little story, with an pretty good array of puzzles and some snappy writing, held back by uneven pacing.
