It's an interesting concept, and I love that it's made to look like a mobile app, kind of makes you feel like a really bored ruler who can't be bothered to deal with his people so you just use an app to manage your entire country, it adds a nice little level of immersion.
The choices are mostly pretty interesting, and seeing the different consequences of your actions is a great reason to replay.
If I had one complaint it would be waiting between events, I'd have loved a "skip time" button to just get right to the next one. I'd be way more inclined to start my next run straight away if I could just speed through a run at the speed of which I can read and click.
