Kind of liked the game. Then kind of hated it there at the end.
This game played out in a series of text pages where you participate in the novel as the third born of a household and born to the common class. "The Lots" of people in society was a big focus on the novel and your decisions affect your characters statistics in some fashion, making you more noble or cunning or whatever based on the particular event.
I tend to make "the hero choices" in these games, feeling that's what the developer assumes is the right path - so in this story I rush to the aid of "Sophia" who is about to be run over by a carriage. I get injured pretty bad. Fine, it's the hero's lot. Ten years later I see her trying to escape someone chasing her, she's part of some secret organization trying to get equal rights for people - she wants me to join her and I help recruit more to the cause to end "the Lot system".
It ends up she is a double agent. Wait .. what?
Everyone you recruited is killed. Wait ... seriously?
She please for her handler to spare your life, you might be useful to their cause. ...
I refused ... Game over. Wait wait wait wait ... Seriously seriously?
There were no clues! This was the heroes path!
Was this game expecting me to side with the people who just executed a room full of people that *I* was responsible for being there?
"The Gods" ask in the end what you thought of them/life/free will. Heartless/Cruel/None. Decent story at the start, infuriating at the end TBH. The idea of playing this again, even a restore game knowing this betrayal was on the horizon ... Nah. Pack it up.
