Genuinely a bit of a pain. It's hard to raise your stats high enough to do anything, and balancing things almost never works. Rather little variation in paths, despite several playthroughs with different choices; for example, investing in infrastructure does not, in fact, prevent a train from derailing. Some rather odd choices, or perhaps bugs; going "Who are these people?", a request that normally tells you who...

This had so much potential, but your decisions mean nothing. There is one path shoved down your throat, but you never have any opportunity to take the initiative on anything meaningful. There are two times you get to choose what your character does outside of work over the course of a week, and you are supposed to institute reform, become a member of the social scene, and/or find a wife in that time? How? A game...

In general, I am a fan of Choice of Games/Hosted Games, but I can't recommend this entry in the CoG line. First, while I wasn't expecting anything special in the 'running a railroad' aspect, it is quite bare. Sometimes it will even force you into bankruptcy even if you are doing otherwise well (plenty of money, etc.) Second, even if you do well, the game penalizes you on the business side if you don't go down the...

I wanted to enjoy this game, however it was very frustraiting to achieve what you want, choices are presented that are actualy imposible to achive like mariages or arresting th villian, stats barely move and the how you invest money doesnt matter as the game ends as soon as the investment is complete, it ended very abrubtly and awkwardly, a lot of potential and well written but very little character agency,

I should start by saying that I don't really recommend this... but I also don't, too much, want to discourage people that want to try it either. As mentioned elsewhere, this has many of the same problems that other COG titles have, which shouldn't be too surprising. The story tries to make you balance business and romance, which is an interesting idea, but it prevents either side (or any of the characters) from...

I don't quite reccomend this game, as I would suggest another Choice of Games selection like Hollywood Visionary or Choice of Robots, however perhaps give it a shot and see how you feel about the game. Having played many other games from CoG, this one I simply couldn't bring myself to finish. It felt like I was having romance shoved down my throat (AND I AM A SUCKER FOR LOTS OF ROMANCE - DUH). I felt like the story...

The game duration is very brief and its structure is too rigid to be really interesting. Most events will happen not matter what you do while the available romantic interests are numerous but very poorly fleshed out and combined with the game's limited timetable creates an extremely fast paced and unenjoyable experience.

This game is sooooo fun! It is forgiving, and I genuinely have a sense of what my choices do and of my progress.

For the time I played, I spent the entire time thinking of how tedious and boring every interaction was. The actual railroad management had potential but the rest I was near falling asleep.

The stats were entirely too tedious to actually get anywhere.... and I didn't really appreciate the game either forcing you to be a woman or a gay man. I got through the first chapter before I decided it just wasn't worth even finishing. 1/10. Honestly regret buying this one.
