In short, if this game only cost like $2.99, it'd be kind of excusable. You run your characters life essentially through their "Spacebook". The game is about balancing your limited number of actions per day to best progress - you may for example choose to focus on friends and watch your career suffer, or vice versa. After about 15 minutes of play, you'll have the core concept of the game nailed but beyond a vague over-arching plot line there is not an awful lot else to add to the mix. Its an ok time-sink at best, but not remotely worth $20. Avoid at all costs till the price drops.
Off the bat, this game is a hoot. If you ever played the likes of Princess Maker, this will seem (at first) a lot easier. You'll then die several turns later due to some random action that you didn't prepare for. The game leads you through looking after the princess, ensuring she learns the correct skills she needs to survive in the dangerous world that surrounds her. What you end up doing though is playing till you die, taking note of what skill you should have had to prevent that death then replaying but ensuring your learn that skill. This makes for an enjoyable waste of time, and the dialogue can be pretty amusing at times (ie, any time you fail in general a certain conversation skill). It can get frustrating however when you save at a certain point only to realise its impossible to learn the correct skills to prevent a death. My advice would be to save often in new slots! The repetition is what ruins this game, as you'll find yourself typically falling down the same routes as you try to get to the end. The nature of the game makes it unavoidable but its likely to be the thing that spoils it for you. The music is sadly too grating to boot. If you can push through that, you'll have a highly amusing game, well worth the price tag. I actually wish there was a mobile version of this because it'd be ideal!
