“I really didn't like that you could have like 8 wives but the only men you can romance are 1) a child/potentially your step son/you can have a threesome with him and his mom. 2) your "admirer" who ends up falling in…”
“"Oh hey! It's just like Dispatch but turn-based!" Anyway, this game is awesome. It is a convoluted, time-crunched, macro-heavy strategy game that just scratches my itch in the same manner as Daibanchou: Big Bang Age or…”
“A slow burn that erupts into pure, captivating chaos. I almost bounced off this game initially, opening and closing it a few times before it finally clicked. I am so glad I gave it a real try. Between the mesmerizing…”

“I have zero regrets about buying this game even if it was a little bit more expensive. I would gladly pay full price for it but if it's on sale then all the better. Beautiful art style, great writing and narratives with…”
“An absolute masterpiece. Easily one of the best narrative-driven games out there. The quality is outstanding, both in visuals and writing. The text is rich, witty, and clever, and somehow gave me a new way to reflect on…”

“This is one of those times where I wish I could give an "in the middle" rating. It's a style over substance issue. Now, when the game is THIS stylish, that's not a dealbreaker, necessarily, it's just not what I'm…”

“Successfully broke all the cards as my first run. What a game, feels like I've barely even scratched the surface despite winning once, so many storylines I haven't seen, even some mechanics I haven't really used. It's…”

“说说总体感受吧，一开始啥也不懂，乱玩的阶段蛮不错的，然后后面把卡都削干净了之后才发现这游戏是有真结局的，然后又开始做结局线。但懂了游戏流程之后发现不管是什么线，开具流程几乎是一样的，重复性有些过高了。当然一般到这个时候游戏时长应该差不多得有五十个小时了。后期重复性有点折磨玩家，但总体还是推荐大家试试。”
“B站看UP主玩然后自己从demo开始玩的，很有意思的回合制卡牌游戏，有不错的互动性、操作性，思考的深度和难易程度恰到好处，商店也适合反复游玩。 剧情、内容、美术都很h，尤其是最后和苏丹可啪。是一个优秀的可以对着🦌的黄油😍”

“非常好玩。桌游的质感非常好，很沉浸的体验。喜欢玩桌游的会非常喜欢。就是不那么容易上手，得多玩几局才熟悉操作。”
“It's a bit confusing, but the gameplay loop is fun. And the sultan is hot asf.”
“This game is pretty fun, I certainly can't recommend it to anybody of sensitive disposition but I think most people would come away not truly offended. Just know going in that it is pretty RNG, and you are expected to…”

“DO NOT buy this game. I have seen arrogant game creators, but they are one of the worst. They are taunting the players who love the endings where characters sacrificing their lives fighting for BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS, and…”

“Very Cultist Simulator Like, but with some dark twists in between. The game lacks some polish, specialy text translation and presentation, but if you can past that and enjoy some level of reading, it's a well made story…”

“I love playing card games and boread games a lot. They are stimulating and mind-bending for me. This game also as a card game is more than a card game in personal. It bring a lot of unique experience through their huge…”
“Don't play this if you work the next day, each game can take something like 6+ hours, and you won't want to stop.”

“去年剛發售就購買了，今年聽說大更新又回來玩了一下，但老實說滿失望的。 去年就存在的種種問題今年幾乎可以說完全沒有改，手牌的展示方式一樣讓人找起來非常痛苦（而在如此痛苦的情況下還不斷增加以卡牌形式存在的任務觸發節點，經常發生因為任務卡牌淹沒在茫茫卡海中沒發現於是任務就此斷線的情況）…”
“Great game that can be played in a relaxed way, though its still engaging and challenging at all times. Critique: The game does not really provide you with a solution to the problems set before you, but its rather very…”

“From the very first playthrough, the game feels unique and refreshing. I’d describe it as a narrative-driven experience with a strong emphasis on reading and decision-making. While choices are made through cards, it doesn’t really feel like a traditional card game—the cards…”

It's beautiful in many ways: the style, the music, the mystic vibes, many-many storylines and possibilities for MC and your companions. It may be…”
