User reviews
stellar game! super fun, and i love the characters. absolutely worth paying for the full version. one of the best choice of games i've had the pleasure of reading
One of the best choice games out there.
Amazing.
The Golden Rose has been for years one of my most expected stories. I fell in love with it in the demo version and I am happy to say the full version of the game went beyond all my expectations. The author is able to fully immerse you in the world and characters while guiding you with a wonderful and prosaic voice. ...
Absolutely loved this story!! Interesting world-building, great flavor text for individual MC personality, and a wide cast of distinct and interesting characters. 🥰
Ana's writing is wonderful, if I could give it more than five stars I would. Her world building and characterisatio easily make you forget you're ready a story and not living through the moments with her characters yourself. I look forward to future installments!
