This was so well-crafted and engaging; I played through to the end but didn't manage to put my kids into a good school - daaaaarn!
Though I don't know much about post-opium war Shanghai beyond what's taught in schools, this felt very, very authentic - foreign money, western influence, the power dynamics of what happens when you speak English... and the haggling. Oh my, the haggling. You captured the dance just right.
The interface was also so intuitive and fresh, and I felt like I was playing a board game at the computer. I'd forgotten for a moment that I was playing a game jam game and rolled my sleeves up for the drama that would follow once we'd sailed in-land and just wanted more.
This has been my favorite entry thus far.
