How it feels

A deeply narrative-driven interactive fiction where you forge a gladiator's path through romance and political intrigue, propelled entirely by text and choice.

What players say

Players praise the romance and character interactions, especially the polyamory and asexual options. However, many find the stat system confusing and the story somewhat railroaded, with limited impact on the main plot.
