Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Insert Rich Family Name is an incredibly sharp, text-based interactive fiction piece that satirizes high society with surgical precision. Playing as an outsider suddenly thrust into the upper echelons of wealth, I found the writing to be both witty and biting. The game focuses heavily on social navigation; every dialogue choice feels like stepping through a conversational minefield where one wrong word could ruin your reputation or, conversely, land you an inheritance.
What truly impressed me was the depth of the branching paths. Unlike many choice-based games that funnel you toward a single conclusion, your family relationships here genuinely evolve based on your behavior. Are you a sycophant, a rebel, or a silent observer? The game tracks these traits meticulously. While it lacks flashy graphics, the descriptive prose is so vivid that it paints a clearer picture of the opulent mansions and sneering socialites than any 3D engine could. It’s a must-play for fans of 'Choice of Games' or anyone who enjoys a good social drama.
Features
Extensive branching narrative

Multiple unique endings

Tips & Walkthrough
In the early chapters, pay close attention to your 'Grace' and 'Cunning' stats. High Grace helps you win over the matriarch, while high Cunning allows you to eavesdrop on vital secrets without getting caught. Balance these to ensure you aren't written out of the will before the third act.
Gameplays
During the Gala events, choose your conversation partners wisely. Talking to the lawyer might yield financial clues, while befriending the rival family heir could open a completely different narrative branch involving a secret alliance.

Well-done mystery…
Tue Aug 06 2024 Magic Kingdom Zeal…I admit, I totally botched the investigation and assumed the avenger was right about the killer. Oops. Good interactive story — multiple events took me totally off-guard. I’m going to have to see if another playthrough significantly varies events. Back after multiple playthroughs — good choices, but find it odd that stats don’t seem to significantly affect choices. I feel like there should be more variance in options/successes if you’re playing an arrogant brat or a modest bleeding-heart. Not asking for branching storylines, just stronger successes or failures based on whether your character’s record matches their attempted actions. Looking forward to Book 2. I hope the choices made here cause strong divergences there. P.S. Please give a way to escape after clicking on your name, or at least automatically update the autosave. Your Tumblr is very nice, but I lost my first playthrough attempt to a misclick.
Nice “Who-Dun-It” Game!
Thu Dec 07 2023 BlinkyBloopIt kind of reminds me of “Choice of” Games and the movie “Knives out.” You have the option to play through different POVs as well which I thought was different. The writing for your own POV was good, but the butler’s POV was written a bit oddly imo. They also give you different “stats” in the game…I *don’t* know if this effects the gameplay much though as it seems like the story is pretty linear for the most part. While I like seeing different stats for my character and other people, I don’t feel like it did much (as far as I know) Also, I didn’t expect the story to be as spicy as it is so if you’re into that… :) Lastly, I noticed that there are several options that are clickable, but grayed out. I’m not sure why its like that or if it means anything…but it felt a bit distracting bc of all the choices, it feels like that one choice is highlighted for you. Look forward to Book 2 :)
Nice mystery adventure, not too long
Sun Sep 22 2024 _kaii_Interesting premise, and the mystery is reveals itself in pieces with some little twists on the way. There is potential romance with a few side characters, and the “fade to black” scenes were spicier than I thought they’d be, but not overtly crude or explicit.
Wanted to leave 5 stars
Thu Apr 18 2024 MiessjThe game is fun. I had multiple experiences UNTIL I started the next game, and then I had the following : either it reset to the beginning, or the font went wonky, or it couldn’t remember where it was from six hours ago. I wish I could have tried all the storylines, but I got through at least three. Just not what I thought I was paying for.
5 stars!
Thu Oct 19 2023 parksuezI'm having the most fun playing this game out of all the games I downloaded recently! I look forward to the release of the next game soon :)
Like the game! But the app…
Tue Jun 25 2024 HonestlythisisgrratokayThe app feels like a 1:1 port over from itchio which really doesn’t work as a phone app. The fact that it doesn’t automatically save and just how the save works to the achievement layout is just frustrating and not what I expected.
Incredible choice game!!!
