The Murgatroyd Formula

Review by rngwrldngnr
If it's the Gothic Romance of the season, focused on the tragedy of love and a sense of impending doom, then "The Murgatroyd Formula" is the Wry Satire of the bunch. It's basically a workplace sitcom, with the love theme of the season being explored through the somewhat antagonistic relationship between two sisters (and more distantly the father that got them into this situation). [...] This story really worked for me, the player and story sometimes disagree on what constitutes a 'good' ending, but Mary Goodden has a talent for having her characters bounce back from most outcomes while still allowing the player a lot of expressive freedom, so that you are unlikely to doom anyone in her stories by sticking to your principles. At the same time, she does great work fleshing out characters, and giving the player a lot of expressiveness in interacting with them. I know her stories don't seem to work for everyone, but you're a Goodden fan, or are looking to learn more about her, then I'd give this one a strong recommendation.
