Often their life and the lives of other characters hang in the balance and the fact that you only get a limited amount of time to make these dialogue and action decisions only adds to the stress.

The game’s story progresses as you have various members of the Forrester family make decisions, and they’re certainly not easy decisions to make. It’s probably quite important that fans of the series are able to draw parallels with the decisions their characters are making and the already existing characters have made because it really makes it hit home just how difficult and stressful playing the game of thrones is.
