I'm amazed this game was completely free. Being my first otome game, I wasn't sure what to except but this blew me out of the water. The graphics were amazing. The background music wasn't distracting or out of place. I really loved the "curse" twist on the fairy tales I grew up reading. And finally, if not most importantly, the characters were all really great. The heroine had progressive steps to change that wasn't abrupt and off-putting and I felt myself growing to care of her more and more with each route I completed. I love how each route also included different stories (i.e. Rod's route got me to love Emelaigne and Karma's had me rooting for our favourite knights).

Overall I really enjoyed each route, but it's quite clear Waltz is meant to be canon. I played in the recommended order and I think that worked out great. Waltz should be last as his route tied up just about all of the loose ends of the other routes. Every single happy ending does come with its own fair share of tragedy or sadness though. The skip function was easy to use in order to get all of the bad endings and they were perfectly heartbreaking in each version. If I had to nitpick, I would have liked to have some voice acting.
