A fun VN/RPG game about the French Revolution, from the eyes of a commoner who is engaged to a minor baron (thereby setting up the class conflict from the start). The aesthetics of the game feel great, with lots of interactions with vapid noble and infighting revolutionaries at parties while an elegant classical track plays in the background.
You have six romance choices as well that you can pursue throughout the game. I got with two (maybe three) at once, which seemed to have no in-game downside, and honestly didn't even feel out of character given how much your character begins to feel like a spymaster. It isn't that deep of character writing, but they are fun to read through.
The main downside of the game I had was that it felt long in the second act, and had a few timeskips that make you miss parties without warning. At times, if you're minmaxing like I was, it can feel too easy.
Overall, vive la France!
