From the review, "I'm going to level with you, Spirited Heart takes some getting used to. Thankfully, it's addictive. After you fail to marry off your character once or twice, you'll find a drive to succeed that you didn't know you had.
When I first began playing, I was frustrated by the difficulty level and wondering how on Earth any progress would be possible. It wasn't until my third playthrough, when I got my human gardener to marry Thofte, that it all clicked.
After that, I came to appreciate the challenge required to master Spirited Heart and welcomed the difficulty level, as it made the game more interesting..."

It adds six new beautiful and interesting female characters to date, each one with her own personality and life goals, increasing the original number of romanceable characters to 12."
A simulation/role-playing game from independent Italian studio Winter Wolves, Spirited Heart puts players in the shoes of a young woman living in a medieval fantasy city who works to earn a living while trying to win the heart of one of six bachelors. It's a simple and potentially appealing concept. Alas, its frustrating character growth system and unfair game design makes it difficult to give this romance sim much love.
