Gives a fun and slightly educational perspective on what a life might be like in the 1600s. To me it seems reasonably believable with regards to the setting and it has some nice descriptions of for example why a certain choice was favored. However, most paths are shallow, with only 1 or 2 choices once you decide where you live and your gender. Apart from that the writing is sometimes off when it comes to specific paths due to having multiple ways of getting to a certain point. For example the game assumes you have already married when you get employed for certain kinds of "female" work, despite you deciding explicitly to work before marriage. To summarise I found the game to work while being somewhat unimpressive. Would have prefered more focus on a more narrow path while dropping most of them.
