## Review summary

Affairs of the Court is praised for its immersive, well-written court intrigue and vast branching paths with varied romance options, including LGBTQ-friendly routes. Reviewers also note solid value, especially with a free first part. However, recurring drawbacks include technical bugs (crashes, save/load issues, 20-minute delays) and a monetization model that can feel gate-driven with extra purchases to unlock endings, plus cross-device purchase restoration concerns. Overall, strong storytelling despite stability and monetization concerns.

### Pros

- Immersive, tension-filled story with strong writing.
- Extensive branching with many endings and romance options, including LGBTQ paths and gender customization.
- Character-driven focus that emphasizes how and why you make decisions.
- Free first part and overall value with affordable additional parts.

### Cons

- Technical bugs and crashes, save/load problems, and 20-minute delays that block progress.
- Monetization gating: upfront cost plus numerous in-app purchases to unlock endings and extra content.
- Purchases not consistently restoring after device changes.
