Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is made of incredibly interesting game design ideas, but is occasionally let down by inconsistent writing quality.

That's not to say the writing is bad -- some of it is very good! -- but there are passages that felt like mid-2010s AO3 prose instead of Professional Videogame Writing, if that makes sense.

There's also some occasional tension between your own role-play and the game's text. Certain dialogue choices ask you to express explicit character traits (e.g. do you value Romance, Knowledge, or Power), but the player-character will often say things that directly contradict the character-writing you've done on your own.

With that said: if you think a cute wiccan lesbian visual novel deckbuilder is your sort of game, you should absolutely play this.
