From the first moment I touched the demo, back when it was hosted on DashingDon, I absolutely fell in love with it. The writing first, the story after. I even replayed the demo multiple times as it got updated. I followed the development closely, constantly checking the author's tumblr page for updates.

As a very imaginative person, I really loved the amount of detail in the writing, and the way certain things were described. I felt like I could see everything vividly in my head, only adding to my immersion (which honestly made me pretty upset whenever someone opened my door and broke me out of my trance).

Another thing that I enjoyed was the incredible amount of choices that allow you to give your MC character. I think I always felt a lack of ways to show my characters' personalities in games and other IFs. I can understand why it isn't for everyone, though. If you're not like me, you might find its frequency a bit annoying.

When it comes to the romance, I really enjoyed it too!! I loved getting on Alessa's soft side as a rather shy female MC, it's so sweet. I haven't tried any other love interest, and I probably won't, but I'm sure they're great too!
I should also mention that it's optional if you're not feeling like romancing anyone, and that there's no "route-locking" feature.

In conclusion, I thoroughly enjoyed The Golden Rose: Book One and highly recommend whoever's curiosity has been piqued from mine and other's reviews, and I can't wait for book two!
