Only one complaint... – Palace Rule Review

It’s definitely pay to win. There are some things you can’t do without gold, fastest way to get gold? Real money. Want a boost to actually be able to do sketching? Have to be VIP[#] since there’s different levels of VIP depending on how much gold you’ve bought. It’s kinda sad because there’s absolutely no way I’ll ever rank high enough on the charts to ever get rewards because I just don’t have the money. I can’t buy energy as much as someone with a ton of gold can and therefore I can’t go through the story as fast because I have to wait for things to replenish so I can slowly build up my energy again. Overall the game is interesting, I like the dress up even if the best stuff is gold locked, or event currency locked (want to guess how you get remotely enough event currency to buy anything?) The story is interesting but the choices you make don’t seem to really matter, even if you choose to do the opposite of something, the story will find a way to make you do it anyway. For example I chose “walk away” for an interaction and the dialogue came back with “you try but [npc name] won’t let you leave” so as interesting as the story is to read, the “choices” could be left out completely and it wouldn’t make a difference. However, I’m not counting that as a complaint since I find the story very interesting and it’s disappointing I can’t move along as quickly as I want to. :( There’s a lot to do and it can be overwhelming, and it’s not always the most clear on what something is or how something effects something else. It’s very interwoven and everything flows together, which is nice, it’s just hard to tell what’s the best way to do something before you’ve wasted a ton of time doing it wrong.
