I've had this game on my list for several months now but haven't gotten around to playing it because of imagining what you mention, which is constant stress.
I was expecting the game to just develop the decision making, but if it goes further by showing you the reaction of the characters and giving you freedom to move around the castle interacting with them, it's much better than I expected. I must get the strength to play it 😅.
