Seven Kingdoms: The Princess Problem

Have to add a review since there are none, and the game needs the tag "no sexual content", since there really isn't any at all. Which strangely enough is a lucky incident for me bc I would not have spotted it otherwise. In short & without spoiling anything, the music, the choices, the replay value, stats & building & mechanics, complexity, characters, dialogue, the overall immersion and feeling is just absolutely sublime! This is by far one of the best VN's overall I've ever played in my life. So far I've played it through 3x - in a row since I started - and I can't stop! This isn't normal, to get so caught up in a VN. Especially when I was looking for lewds! There's a lot of text, but never bombarded (imo). I tend to easily skip most texts and especially if there's no interactivity for too long, but that basically never happened here. This game is as far from some kinetic novel as can be, and you're constantly making choices each one with their consequences. There's just enough different kinds of things to do, a tight schedule, and unique events etc. that it never gets boring or overly repetitive. The only negatives then come from the usability behind all those stats etc. Few choices ever state what they actually do. On my 3:rd run I went and found what walkthroughs and guides I could, but they're all woefully unfinished. The first few runs you can do well enough just picking your choices by instinct, but there comes a point where you need to seriously start focusing on specific stats & skills & reputations & relationships to actually get the paths and results you want. And this is a real problem. Because the only way to see what your choices actually do is 3-4 different clicks into sub menus (your stats are spread across several places, not all of them even have numerical values just bars), from which there is no simple "press esc to get back" but you have to navigate through the buttons back into the game all again. So you literally have to go and take screen caps of EACH of your stat menus, then pick a choice, go into all of them and compare to see what - if anything - changed, and then do this for every single other choice to determine the best outcome! The game has like a thousand scenes with choices, each with ~4+ picks! It's insane! And yet, despite that glaring and extremely annoying feature... with very few visuals for the characters either mind (they're always in the same pic with same pose & clothes with basically 1 of 3 expressions)... this VN is nothing short of a masterpiece! Flawed, but still a masterpiece. I really hope people give it a chance! <3 And god I wish to see more games like this in the future!
