So: You're an experienced adventurer escorting goods to the capital. You get a choice of doing your job or detouring to clear a dungeon.
If you do your job a Bad Thing happens and game over.
If you go to the dungeon, you get a series of random choices, which within three or four turns lead to a Bad Thing happening, and game over.
That's not as bad as I make it sound. Obviously the stars are aligned against this poor girl and whatever she does this day is going to lead to her being stripped, raped and generally losing her liberty if not life. The point of the game is, I'm guessing, is to play it several times over and see how many different scenes you can get. Play it with that mindset, and it's fun. For half an hour or so, anyway.
It's even possible that, with some careful choices and a dollop of good luck, there might be a Good End somewhere in there, although I doubt the game is going to hold my attention for that long.
