The Rose of Segunda

If you have ever played an otome game or a romance visual novel game with female protagonist and felt annoyed at the protagonist's actions or inner monologue, this game will never fail you. This game seriously has the most intriguing female lead and cast of all time. I've bought this game on itch.io and was willing to purchase it here again to leave this review. The author for this game deserves more recognition for her writing.

Frederique is adorable thank you for making him a romanceable option, I will be buying the sequel the moment it releases on Steam.

Where do I begin? This game is 10/10 amaaaaaaaazing. Such beautiful art and scenery. The story line is HILARIOUS and I had soooo much fun playing it. I love the humor, the choices, the witty dialogue, and most of all, I love that it is not too wordy and excessive. It was such a blast to play. My only gripe is that we have a strange flirtation with our brother and there's an option for an incest romance route. Yes, Frederique is hot and the most attractive character but he's our brother bruh. I wish that he was like a step-brother at least or something not blood related. Hell, even cousin could work because how apparently it's kosher to get with your cousin in Europe. My only other critique would be a better ending with more explanation.

Vn, while can't boast of outstanding art or music, long thoughtful routes or voice acting, but personally brought me more satisfaction than much more expensive projects. The text captivates from the first lines and offers a rather interesting (and sometimes comedic) look at the marriage games of the nobility. I finished, however, only 2 Yuri routes, (and so limiting myself to only a third of the game), but still find it worth it

I can heartily recommend both this and the in-progress sequel (Thorns of War); the writing, art, and characters are all excellent in both, especially the LIs. The MC is *so fun* to play as, too. Overall it's one of my all-time faves, and one I *know* I'll be replaying a fair amount in the future.

I was gifted this game! very cool.

Amo esse jogo! Sempre gostei de historias que exploram outras epocas e essa faz isso de uma maneira tão boa, não vejo a hora da continuação sair. Estou ansiosa para o desfecho de todas as rotas (principalmente aquela que pode ser questionavel e que é particularmente a minha favorita)

relaxing and gay, perfect way to end the day

I really enjoyed the art, writing and characters (especially the MC). It was very fun to explore all the different choices and routes~ The only thing that bothered me is that the font could be a bit hard to read at times.

I liked this game a lot - it reminded me of another Otome, The Confines of the Crown, in the best way. The mild customization of the MC's personality was a nice touch, and the LIs were all interesting in my opinion. Worth a play
