Genuinely such a fun game, with beautiful visuals, well acted and engaging storyline. It seems like most of the low star ratings are due to it being paid past the first chapter, but it's a flat fee with no gacha elements (unless you want to vote on the leaderboard but that's not really important) or pop-up ads. Looking forward to Road to Empress 2!

This is an excellent choice based game. At first it seemed like they might've simplified the huge choice tree by ensuring that there is only one "right" path and there are "wrong" paths that will get you killed within a chapter or two but there are multiple choices that flow all the through. Exploring the different choices is easy and displays the work put into the game well. This is a paid game but it's well worth the €6 I paid (or full price of €9) - it's a movie with added extras.

I like this game. it's a different approach from all the others. although you can't get past the tutorial. But there should be a different way to at least get passed without paying - so the developers get paid. but I don't I regret playing. I'm interested. There's a lot of potential. and a lot of fans could be gotten from it. I would love a mini game where you can earn coins enough to get a chapter or for there to be a watch [insert number ads] to get to the next place. (or data harvest??)
