What players say
Players praise the live-action drama and palace intrigue, but many condemn undisclosed generative AI used in side content. The story hinges on finding the one correct choice to avoid death, which some find frustrating and others enjoy as a challenge. The game splits players on whether choices meaningfully shape the plot.
