Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a long campaign may reach the end of the central story after about 30 minutes
- Players looking for a structure built around something other than romance and flirtation may lose interest at the main progression system
- Players who do not enjoy suggestive romantic humor may bounce off the tone and premise
Our take on Bard Harder!
The bounce point comes when flirtation becomes the main way to shape the story. Players seeking a longer narrative may also hit the wall at the self-contained 30-minute conclusion, even with alternate routes and endings available for replay.
