Yes Your Grace was a fun game. The first playthrough is definitely a bit challenging, since the different resources seem to be dwinlding really quickly and the player, playing as King Eryk, seems to have to make difficult decisions balancing their own interests, that of their subjects, and the kingdom's well-being almost constantly. The narrative is compelling and most of the characters are really endearing.

That being said, it's a game that suffers from its replayability: since there are multiple endings, one might feel compelled to play it more than once, but I discovered quite rapidly that the choices that feel important during the first playthrough are more often than not semi-inconsequential. Now, whether or not it matters to you as a player, I believe, is entirely personal. For me, this did not spoil my initial enjoyment of the game: I had a really lovely time playing and went in for a second playthrough thinking I had finished the game when I really hadn't - there was a whole other half to play!

I would recommend this game. It's a compelling narrative experience.
