Who Murdered My Empress?

I love this game! My only only complaint is that while it bills itself as an otome, it's really a linear isekai story with one LI and some bonus content. The second ML syndrome is BAD.

I originally picked up this game because it checked a lot of boxes for me. It came across my FYP on TikTok before its release and I bought it shortly after. I was excited this game in the beginning but was then a little saddened to learn I could not really choose my love interest. I think the game cover art had me under the impression that I could and I had not seen the game website citing the male lead. I do not dislike Vu but it did dampen my enthusiasm to keep playing for a while. I was hoping to know more of Thanh Tung. Mai's development and Vu's story was satisfying for me. I've also finished the additional content available (Empress POV) and am waiting to see more of Thanh Tung. Sometimes I felt the game dragged on a bit on my play through but if I ever wanted to replay for the additional scenes there is a skip button. I will most likely play some of the additional content as it's released. I played this solely on the Steam Deck and it worked perfectly. ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

It's very fun imperial mystery game. I don't typically watch any Asian imperial dramas but the mystery is quite nice. The flow was good, the creator of the game didn't describe everything in the scene but rather the relationships and the politics mattered more. The guys are pretty hot too and all have distinct enough personalities for everyone's specific type even if there is only one love interest that Mai actually falls for in the main story.
