Yeah it takes ages for the first choice. I guess to set the baseline ... but I would suggest some cosmetic choices earlier to break that up a bit.
Please don't. Non-choice choices break the narrative flow and serve no useful purpose. You're still not making decisions. The story still goes the same way. Only now you have to pause to dismiss the "choice". Many developers use this in sex scenes and elsewhere to create a "pause" but it feels artificial. I prefer to be allowed to go at my own pace and pause where I want to.

If you want users to know it's not a kinetic novel, you can put something at the start that explains there is some setup before the choices begin. Or just expect them to read the tags.

So the opening cut scene just did not work at all.

But more importantly I have been playing for about 45 mins with out a choice or action... Should this be tagged as a Kinetic Novel?
PLENTY of choices during the game, just the first couple of chapters are short on them. I appreciate you playing so attentively, because 45 minutes is impressive to have not reached the first choice (at the end of the first chapter). Enjoy!

I guess this is meant to be a statue? ... Doesnt look like one - way to detailed and fleshy.

Many people don't realize that in the "ancient" world, statues were often (usually?) painted, and lifelike presentations were not uncommon. This is a reasonable representation of what a statue of a goddess located in a temple might have looked like.

Oh yeah, hope I didn't come across that way. I'm actually happy that someone would read all the dialogue and take their time. I've seen far too many posts for my game and others that have a lot of content saying something like, "Finished in 10 minutes. Nothing here." Appreciate it when folks don't just skip to the next choice.

I think you may have misinterpreted what they meant by 'finished in 10 min' :p:p:sneaky:

WOW! Nice Update - thanks ... I really enjoyed playing it.
This update alone is almost bigger than some of the "completed" games out here ;)
Great job Dev! Thanks for sharing ^^

ITRoy, is there a different way than fu***** patreon to support you? You deserve support, because you are a good one - not one of those despicable milkers here!
thx for that too :)

Pretty much why the historical record doesn’t show a lot of marital faithfulness among rulers and the elite. But hey - makes for a great adult VN
Just a question for you sir, will you plan to include pregnancy in the future? Would love that

The Great Game is an interesting story, will it be possible to introduce the mechanics of pregnancy in the future, or will it be possible to have sex with Queen Helena ?
