At first I didn't know what to expect, but the way the story was being told drawed me in, and pulled me along turns and twists, where it felt like my decisions mattered to change the story in significant ways, but not in ways that would completly lose the plot.

This game is a choose your own adventure game, which is basically reading an interactive story, accompanied by a great soundtrack, and marvelous ink drawings to accompany each scene. These things set the tone wonderfully, giving the game lots of atmosphere, which is something this game excels at.

While not that long, as I completed the game in about four and a half hours, it contains a side story that I have yet not tackled, which seems to be a prequel of sorts, and offers lots of replayability in the way of previously mentioned choises that you can make, that alters the moment to moment significantly, but not that much the overall plot. This is aided by a stat system that helps you tackle challeges, or fail them, which isn't reflected as a total game over, but a set back and a change in the moment to moment action.

Overall, this game feels like a tabletop rpg, which is one of the most enjoyable aspects for me. The story, set around the first world war, contains a lot of mystery, conspiracy, cosmic horrors, along with many memorable characters, things which I really like and helped me enjoy this game even more.

If after all you're still undecided, you might want to wait for a sale, but if you're decided by any of these things and you know what you're getting into gameplay wise, you're sure to end up enjoying the game.
