I'm he he is me
Very very good, I've played through it several times and probably will again soon.
I was around when this was still just a couple chapters on the CoG forums, and it was something special even then. I greatly enjoy the story, even if I'm not the most tactics-minded (which can be to my own detriment in this sort of IF). If you enjoy IFs where your actions directly influence your outcomes in often-deadly ways, where you war with yourself as much as the enemy, and where even the smallest decision might turn the tide for (or against) you, this is one for you. I really enjoy this story (again, even though I'm terrible at it lol), and highly recommend it. Keep in mind there are gruesomely realistic depictions of large-scale battles, and the thoughts of someone struggling to endure the horrors of war. A dark and wonderful adventure.

[h2] John Louis is a goated author, and this interactive fiction is easily in my top 3 favorite hosted games release. [/h2] I've been following this story, as well as whiskey-four, ever since its first demo. John's more mature-themed stories are a breath of fresh air, since the majority of choice + hosted games being more geared towards young adults. Needless to say, this author is extremely gifted when it comes to writing a character who embodies the "I'm too old for this ♥♥♥♥" vibe.[spoiler] As someone who used to struggle with PTSD and self-harm, the main character's character arc throughout the story hits a little too close to home; but nevertheless, it was extremely cathartic finishing their story, knowing that they WILL get better with the (potential) help from other characters. [/spoiler] With that said, I can't wait for the second book to come out!
Solid CYOA, you actually feel like a competent fighter, and overall I enjoyed the story. There were realistic situations when it came to combat, I saw choices I made long ago take into effect, and the slow burn romance was good in many aspects but sometimes it was a little frustrating. But the ending was much more hopeful than I expected with my play-through so I am satisfied. I will absolutely be playing the next one.
