One other thing: I appreciate the thought that went into the world building. Completely underdeveloped and while your two relationships have great baring on the ending of the game, it doesnвЂ™t seem to matter how well or badly youвЂ™ve treated them, theyвЂ™re going to make the same choices, and you spent such little time with them that they feel fairly personality-less. The same goes for the relationships you have in the story. I recognize that writing these branching stories is an arduous and time consuming process but I really felt short changed, especially when there are so many other CoG games that feel truly developed and are easy to invest in. I mean sure, you get to side with one royal or the other in who gets a particular maguffin (whose importance is never explained) but youвЂ™re left to your own imagination how that pans out. I felt at the end, regardless of what choices I made, that I barely impacted the overall resolution of the story, and thatвЂ™s because at the end of the day, your character IS tangential to the larger narrative (The game of the Petal Thrones). I felt like I was about getting to the halfway point when the game suddenly ends with barely a resolution, and thatвЂ™s on a вЂњgoodвЂќ ending.

I was particularly taken with a sequence in which you encounter a вЂњwhimperedвЂќ which I think is one of the more chilling types of monsters IвЂ™ve ever encountered in a game like this. Some of the encounters or events are quite imaginative. Also thereвЂ™s some nice degree of choice and how the plot moves forward can very much alter with your failures and/or successes. The writing is solid all the way around (not a guarantee at all in CoG games) and the world building is quite unique and interesting and I kept wanting to know more about it. So I have mixed thoughts about this game. For additional information, please visit BrooksSeveer Barker and are used with permission of the TГ©kumel Foundation.
