Perhaps viewing its alternate Victorian Age through too much of a modern lens, it still felt quite period, and with fun references to Sherlock Holmes, Jack the Ripper, and Dr Snow (read Ghost Map, highly recommended).
I only played once so I don’t know for sure how many endings there are, but I felt like many decisions did matter.
And it was much longer than I expected.
It’s unfortunate perhaps that you must play a man, but I’m just as happy the author didn’t have to spend her time contorting the story to allow the choice. The story she chose to do works with a male character.
