Download] [Torrent] Only one playthrough but the writing was phenomenal. I could do without the humor system and sometimes it was a bit vague which skill was necessary, but overall one of my favorite CoG games.. Some scenes are brilliantlly written, but that's all. The stat system of this game just makes everything so easy that you can pass every skill checks by developing three core skills.Romance is trash and I'm already being kind saying this. You cannot make any meaningful connections with literally anyone, even your monkey and non-romance options! Some characters you encountered will never return in the later part of the game which makes you wonder the point of some interactions and numerous relationship stats.And on to the LGBT issue, yes everyone should be equal and all that. As a non-binary person myself, I still don't care for the idea of "throwing gender neutral character at you and just suck it". We should have the option to choose the gender of some characters (male, female, trans, non-binary). And spoiler warning and literal warning, a certain "prinxe" character is just a trap for any player who wants to aim high. Yes, "they" are not Mx. Right; they are just another spoiled brat who wants to just shirk their responsibilities and acts on their whims.I feel that this is a very bad game written by a well-learned and talented author whose archaic-style writings are just too much of a chore to read (or just for non-native-English-speaker like me).. You would be a fool not to like this.9.5 My monkey moo-ed to me.. This was a lot of fun, and definitely worth the price for all the hours of fun and content you can get out of it. Most of the characters are interesting enough to make you care about them, and the variety of choices leaves you a lot of options, so you rarely feel like a complete failure. Hail didn't want to romance me and I died a virgin, which is a damn tragedy, but I did get the companionship of a monkey and the respect of the people and royalty alike, so I'll take it.Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone with an interest in medieval times, RPGs and\/or text-based adventure games. Also, I refuse to believe that our character finding a broken down cart wasn't a Cicero reference.. Super fun game. Takes a bit to get used to the writing style, but it's well written. I felt really satisfied with my ending even though I failed to seduce anyone. Even my failures felt like a part of my character's story and growth..
