What players say

Players praise the witty writing and voice acting in this historical comedy about an astrologer in Elizabethan London. They enjoy how choices affect outcomes, though some find the gameplay repetitive and the singing sections skippable. The game is short, around 6 to 11 hours, and several players call it a hidden gem.
