A Study in Steampunk Reviews
Addressing problems
First off let me address the problems with playing a girl. If you actually read the story you can see its lots of different story's merged together. For instance your a doctor working with a amazing detective (Sherlock Holmes with you as Watson) or the chorlora epedemic is the Bradstreet pump. The ship going down is hidingburg/titanic. This is why you can be a female.
Only one complaint ....
Engrossing storyline and hard to put down but would have liked the option to play as a female but you don't get the choice, you are a male doctor and that's it; so 4 (and a half) stars instead of 5.
Amazing.
Hands down one of the best games released. Incredible storyline, wonderful characters and a brilliantly complex set of choices that affect the final outcome. 10/10.
One of the best to date
Compelling, immersive, unexpected and brilliant. Some of the recent CoG have lacked the great quality and story telling that is present by the bucketload in this. A well crafted world, characters you genuinely invest in and a excellent, extensive and twisting plot. I'd recommend to anyone, whether you're a fan of interactive fiction or not, this is a real gem.
This is what I remember and love about Choice...
I buy every new Choice game instantly. However, there's always crippling bugs that cause me to give up half way through.
This is the biggest, most branching story they've done yet. Definitely most bang for the buck.
The game is well written with few spelling errors.
All in all, one of the best produced.
Girls like steampunk too
The premise of this game is interesting, and the writing very readable, but I have one major complaint- the MC is designated male. This wasn't mentioned in the game brief, so I spent £2.49 buying a game only to find out I wouldn't really enjoy the experience of playing it. A shame.
Marvelous
There are many paths through this game with hugely divergent outcomes. But what’s even better is the depth of your character. While it’s true you’re always playing a man, there’s so much room for him to develop in different ways. This is a fairly long choice game, and greatly rewards multiple playthroughs.
Superb storytelling.
This has been, to say the least, one of the finest stories I have had the privilege of enjoying. Only a minute ago I completed my first play through, and I’m about to start right over again. My only complaint is that the display options don’t seem to be functioning properly, but I would imagine that’s an easy fix. Other than that, this has provided, and will continue to provide, hours of enjoyment. The author is a remarkable writer and I will surely look for more titles from her.
A richly detailed world with exciting choices
This is one of the best choose tour own adventure stories. Excellent writing mixes science fiction with Victorian settings. I really like the numerous and various choices. Has strong replayability. Interesting characters.
Truly entrancing
Fair warning, the character is locked in as a male. That being it’s only offset however, I still think the story is amazing. It’s everything promised in the description, serial killers, steampunk, long lived nobles, and much more. I think what makes it one of hosted games’ best is that it has characters that stay relatively consistent throughout the story. With a few exceptions most decisions matter. The system of stats may not be super complex but it’s simplicity and great story is what draws me in. Being a casual choice of games and hosted games reader games with a lot of stats confuse and ruin the experience most of the time for me. But that’s just my personal opinion. Great for a story and if you’re looking for some simple stats with mostly meaningful decisions.
