My only (okay, not only but somewhat relevant) complaint is that the game heavily favors "ethical" MC, in that the "best" options in number of cases are locked to this alignment, including completely fooling characters with opposite preference if you have high manipulation.... while ROs magically see through lack of ethics no matter how high MC's manipulation score.

Basically, one side gets to eat their cake and keep it too, while other gets "fuck you, i got mine".

There's couple extra characters which iirc were Kickstarter stretch goal that aren't yet implemented fully, but they're additional to the ones listed. The main case seems to have complete endings, and there can be something like up to a dozen ending variations for each character, depending on the summit outcome(s) for various countries, what sort of relationship you pursue, etc.

Kind of sad there is no sexual content.... makes me wonder what this game is doing here..... not that I don't like these kinds of games... its just not the kind of game I expected here.....

I guess as one of those VN romance games it seems to be okay... but the fonts..... by Gawd..... the worst choice of fonts I have ever seen....

Seriously... THE WORST CHOICE OF FONTS. And just for that I'm out.

It's bad enough there is no R18 content... now I need to squint my eyes and decipher what the heck they are talking about.....

To be fair, the game could use the no sexual content tag, the site has it for a reason. That said, for the same reason it's perfectly ok for this game to be here. It's not the first game which would get this tag.

Anyone know how to solve the murder case in week 4? I'm really dumb when it comes to these investigate stuff, and questions with mysterious servant really cock block me.

Early in Week 2 (before the horse ride) you need to investigate the Forbidden Wing for a small scene between Gisette and a servant. If you then tell Jasper about it, he'll provide you with a clue after you get the matchmaker's approval. This is important bit of knowledge you'll need to pass the talk with the mysterious servant.

I've already done that and got the "he try to kill me" clue, but according to the guide, I need total of 4 point with him, but answer everything correctly only give 3. Am I still missing something?

To get the right outcome, you actually need 5 points, not 4. To get them answer his first question with:

* Because he attempted to kill me first. (1 final outcome point)

and then the second question with:

* I don't know you at all so I can only guess.
* I think you believe the Isle shouldn't belong to greedy servants or scheming delegates. (2 final outcome points)

Then, when Kade asks you to "tell me how did i do it" you need to pick these options:

* A horse is missing. You are the cause.
* You arranged an accident. Here.
* You used a rosethorn.
* You wrote a note and framed Gisette for it.
* (That's all the theories you have)

This will net you the last 2 points you need. Picking other options before you move on with the talk will reduce the score or make you fail outright.

Are there any other games that y'all would recommend like this? Specifically with being able to customize your personality based on the decisions you make.

I keep encountering a very annoying bug where if you visit the forbidden wing for any reason (be it for exploring to find a secret, or just exploring during the explore the castle section) the "Your page" button at the top left just vanishes. Has anybody else encountered this? And if so has a workaround been found? I can just avoid the forbidden wing but it makes attaining the best outcome of the week 4 trial impossible.

A game with a lot of potential, but gods, there are so many stats and skill checks that Long Live The Queen is awkwardly sidelined. And as it says in the only review, every time you want to see your stats you have to press a 3-4 buttons. And it is unclear what the result is needed to pass the check... In general, without the game+ bonuses and the guide, the game will be torment if you want specific ending/achievement.
Technically, it's still EA and the devs promised to fix everything, but considering that they've released EA 10 years after kickstarter, I have some concerns about release date.

P.S. And I hate these fonts!!! As someone who has never read a handwritten English, it hurts my eyes a lot.

Agree. Only plays an hour or two and decided to stop after looking at how much of check were in the guide. Also how do the new game+ stuff work since I might play it again but not sure if I get a bunch of bonus when I get any ending the first time or if i get a certain bonus depending on the route and if so can the bonus be stack or do you have to pick one new game plus bonus per playthrough?

I'm not sure about NG bonuses myself, I just know they exist... But as for updates, I can only say that judging by the kickstarter, the author likes to disappear for a year or more and then suddenly make a post... Considering that no one on the forums expresses concerns and does not start topics like "is the game abandoned? SCAM", then everyone is probably already used to it...

I hope that the case since while the game seem to be a lot with all the stat stuff, I am intrested in the game and hope it does not get abandon or anything.
