But playing them right after each other does make the differences rather stark. Marion is treated well by the narrative in both routes. The Sherwood route of the demo can end with Marion demanding to be returned to her father, or deciding to join the Merry Men, the latter further ending with her challenging Will to a sword fight to prove her worth. Eventually she’s taken to their hidden camp, where she learns about the bloody history of the Nottingham region, Geoffrey’s villainous reputation, and that this was not a kidnapping but a rescue operation…just a poorly thought out one being pulled off by a bunch of men who didn’t stop to think how it’d make Marion react. She makes multiple attempts to escape or fight them, every one failing. In contrast, the Sherwood route involves Marion being captured by Robin Hood and the Merry Men on her way to marry Geoffrey. After meeting an interesting lady thief and a mysterious knight (Alanna and Gui respectively), Marion is given the choice to stay with Meissa and act as a knight, or take a job running Geoffrey’s household and work as a spy.
While visiting the market in this disguise, Marion winds up earning Geoffrey’s attention (and perhaps respect) when disabling an assassin she thought was a mugger with a frying pan. From there it is revealed that Meissa is a sage, who has seen that Marion will be instrumental in protecting Nottingham from a dark fate, and they give her a magical disguise to help her along. Nottingham opens with Marion fleeing from the inn where she’s staying before meeting Geoffrey, receiving aid from Meissa and helping them in return when stuck at the wall of the city. The game’s version of Little John was especially good.īoth routes of the game come with their own tone, which is interesting and helps to make them stand out more. That being said, the art and the writing are consistently good, so I didn’t dislike the Sherwood route. As someone who isn’t attracted to people who identify as male I confess this somewhat negatively impacted my enjoyment of the Sherwood route. The latter two are both only in the Nottingham route which, I must confess, is something of a bummer. Of the eight love interests, six are men, one is a woman, and one is non-binary (Meissa). Four in Sherwood…įrom Left to Right, Gui, Alanna, Meissa, and Lord Geoffrey
It’s a bit backwards, but since the game makes the results of each clear before you make the choice it’s not confusing.īetween the two paths there are eight romantic options to choose from. If you want to romance the Sheriff you’ve got to decide to not marry him.
The result is that if you want to romance Robin Hood…you need to decide to marry the Sheriff of Nottingham. Though somewhat amusingly, choosing to flee the marriage is the route that gets you stuck in Nottingham, while choosing to stick with it is what gets you in Sherwood Forest. These two options give access to the two locations Made Marion takes place in, Sherwood Forest and Nottingham itself. As such, she’s given two options, to either accept the marriage or to flee in the night. But her father has returned, with a new wife, and reveals to Marion that she has been promised in marriage to Lord Geoffrey, the infamous Sheriff of Nottingham, entirely against her own will. Marion spent the last few years before the game running her family’s lands while her father was away, even learning to use a sword to help protect her people.

The demo itself begins after the prologue chapter of the full game, tossing us right into the first major choice of the game.
