Although the game is very linear and the plot developments tend to drag you along while being presented as your own ideas, which is a bit alienating, it still does a good job of putting you in the shoes of someone forced to balance ethics and political expediency in times of social upheaval and terror. The art style is very nice and the atmosphere is quite immersive. I found some of the mini-games a bit tedious, but the pieces fit together well enough overall. I was looking for something similar to the old "Republic: the Revolution", and in this I found a better game of the same style. Another review criticized the French version of the game for the tutoiement in the courtroom dialogues. This is actually historically accurate: in formal settings, revolutionary French etiquette required the pronoun "tu" between individual citizens (see the historian Philippe Wolff's article "Le tu révolutionnaire" on Persée). You do see vouvoiement in many cases in the game, notably among aristocrats.
