The Nine Lives of Nim: Fortune's Fool

It's a fun game. You are the fairy servent of a prince, and you go to the mortal realm of veronawhen your Prince disappears. From There you are in the world of Shakespeare, interacting with his characters The game is easy to play and while there is lots to read, you won't be slaving away trying to find endings. They are all easy to find. The romances are sweet too. I managed to romance tybalt from romeo and juliet.

A very charming SIM/Visual Novel hybrid about a cat faerie called Nim who is tasked to search for her prince in a city called Valora. You have 1 month to increase your stats than can trigger storylines of different Shakespeare characters and get several endings that shapes the fate of Nim. 1 month doesn't seem like a lot but this game has a lot of storylines, which actually made me interested with Shakespeare's works. Not to mention a lot of endings and different ending variations that gives this a high replay value. It was enjoyable and addiction to the end. Admittedly I was a bit taken back by the artwork, but it grew on me and I find it quite nice. Overall a nice game!

A traditional stat-raising life simulation game with interesting new approaches. The mechanics are very simple, but there is a lot of depth to be found in the different plotlines and how actions affect the game and endings. The protagonist's three forms as cat, spirit, and human adds a unique layer of complexity. I definitively recommend this game for fans of the genre.

I've played through this game twice now and I have to say that I love it! There is no shortage of what you can do and there are so many scenarios that trying to play them all out is a fun challenge. In that sense there is a lot of replay value. As far as the writing is concerned I think it could flesh out the character interactions a little bit more, especially since quite a few of the characters are romance options. Other than that I really enjoyed the story as well as all of the nods to Shakespeare's plays. This game is just so charming! The art is nice enough. It's certainly not hard to look at but I think the lack of hard lines makes the characters look a little blurry. I don't mind it too much though. I thought the music was really well done. Not much else to say on that front. All in all, I absolutely recommend this game to Shakespeare nerds, cat lovers, people who enjoy dating sims, and anyone who just wants a fun magical story!

Good looking, interesting plots (and a lot of them!)
