I only started playing after the big patch, liked the different characters and stories a lot. The main negative thing to me was the system telling me I needed to craft incomplete stories to investigate, after which I just didn't complete stories in the bu

After two playthroughs I think both the praise and criticism for the game are justified: Mask of the Rose has a gorgeous presentation, intriguing stories, but awkward game mechanics. To even start interviewing people about the big murder crime requires wr

Good game, especially if you're already into the Fallen London universe. Mask of the Rose reveals some new lore - or at least things I missed before - and has some interesting story lines. It might be a different experience if you're coming to this fres

Another great installment in the Fallen London setting, and a unique one at that. A visual novel set in the period immediately after London's Fall, this offers us a unique glimpse into the lives of Londoners as the Fall occurred, and it's aftermath. Rogue

Magnificent episodic storytelling, that - despite flaws, such as decision actions not always being explained, and the torment of deciding which twelve of the thirteen things that need doing at any time can be safely neglected - sends chills down the spine

Excellent game and really effective introduction into the world of Fallen London, which I picked up after a few playthroughs of Mask of the Rose and am now hooked on. Nice work Failbetter, you got me good.

EDIT: I have now finished the game twice. I really, really wish I could recommend it because the atmosphere is amazing and the freedom it gives you in choosing your romance options and which plot points you want to follow is commendable. However, I've onl

I once joked, when Failbetter asked what they should do next, that I'd like a dating sim for The Masters, so of course I backed this on Kickstarter! It was super cool that I finally got to realize my longstanding Fallen London dream of romancing Mr Pages.

I've played two full playthroughs now and I only really worked out how the core mechanic worked at the end of the first run. I also only worked out the solution to the games central problem on the final turn of the game, which potentially makes this very

For a setting that supposedly thrives on love stories, the whole playing experience is dry, emotionless and tediously dull.
The plots are slow-moving. The interactions are lifeless and robotic. None of the characters are interesting or attractive enoug

I think I should answer the "Do I recommend this game?" question first: Yes, I do recommend it. Now, my reasoning may be a bit weird in the sense that my brain has been completely moisturized with shroom-vodka at this point of the day—on a Tuesday no le

As others have mentioned: No easy saving/replaying from save points.
Romances are awkward. no, I don't want to kiss someone the second time I meet them, out of nowhere! And worse, I don't want them to appreciate it like that's normal!
The writing is clun

I'm a big fan of the Echo Bazaar 'verse. Murine Sympathizer @ Fallen London, by all means hit me up for social actions. Thus, it comes as a kind of 'tough love' that I can't earnestly recommend MOTR as a good game. Believe me, if I didn't care, I wouldn't

An interesting idea done in the most tedious way imaginable.
You will see more transitions than anything else. Some of the dialogue is bizarrely bad (May, eg). You only really do 2 things each day, but those 2 things can take 30 minutes of real time as y

It is clunky and aimless for a good portion of the beginning. There isn't a clear layout for time management at first, you sort of get a feel for it afterward (but never feel comfortable).
It seems the developers did what they could to try and put twists
