2024-12-13	Beau	it was a nice change of pace from most games you play nowadays. I thoroughly enjoy the challenge and multiple choices and routes you can choose. there's plenty of challenging puzzles and combat that I'm pretty sure I'll have more than just one more play through. They added an encumbrance feature? Lame.
2024-10-30	Jennifer	I was sick of point/click & escape room adventures. Then i stumbled upon this masterpiece! It is "novel" based but do not be deterred. This IS an amazing adventure & more immersive than any advent game I've played . U make decisions that all lead to different paths. U get to fight. U'll go back 2 change ur path over & over so use all save spaces & save frequently. Make sure u read what every characteristic is b4 assigning points, as well as any other detail u can possibly find. You will luv this
2024-10-29	Charlie Liggett	Really neat but simple RPG for mobile. Definitely has a lot of room to grow as far as decision-making and consequences go, but the story has unique lore and the writing is well enough to keep you interested. I am intrigued to see what the developers can come up with next, hopefully build on this platform.
2024-10-10	Lee B	Definitely one of the best games of this type/genre, with a very interesting and unique storyline and characters. I really enjoyed the combat system which was simple and straightforward (perfect for a game like this), yet engaging enough that you weren't bored. My only complaint is that it was over so quickly, but it was also very satisfying to finish.
2024-08-28	Ronald Andersen	Its got lots of stuff to get you interested in the adventure. The selection of gear and items is very good for a text based rpg. You feel like its more of an actual rpg then just a book with choices to make. Everything is done very well and its fun to play. The story is fun to read and the idea of being able to move around with the map is a nice addition to this style of gaming. Its not a 5 star game because its really short and the devs just kill off characters and end the story very quickly.
2024-08-09	Adam Hyman	I previously wrote a review where I was upset this game did not unlock via play pass subscription. The developer reached out immediately and we did troubleshooting together. They are fixing the issue. That alone shows a good dev who cares about user experiences, which in my experience is pretty rare. The game itself has good immersion with an interesting story. The world-building is good, with numerous details you can dig into if desired. Overall, highly recommeded.
2024-04-06	panzer man	The games direction can be incredibly confusing at times. I would get stuck on the same thing for 20 minutes going to places i had already been to see if i missed anything because i had no idea how to progress. The game is incredibly confusing. And the end...holy molly it was lacking. It felt like the story was cut 1/8 of the way to the end. I am incredibly disappointed. You could have done better. Also, i do like how you let people play like 30 percent of the game until you ask them to pay.
2023-04-08	a b	It was a great story overall, lots of depth in the world, which I really enjoyed. I just couldn't beat the final boss. I notice a few points short on certain stats could make a fight completely impossible. Also, the gilded plate armor stats were exactly the same as the heavy chain, which makes no sense given it seems like the end game armor, besides its plate vs chain.
2023-04-06	De'Shawn Presley	Crit mattered. I liked the story. The world building was well done. The choices were... well, I got Mass Effect 3 vibes at the end, but I didn't hate that game. In this game, I felt like I spent so much time gathering and collecting items in the game, just to get one shot by an enemy. Then I reloaded a save and played until I one-shot them. That was all of the combat. It was very frustrating. -1 Star. Crit mattered.
2022-07-11	AuroravisVL	I played as a combat type, and can say that the rpg scaling was fairly tight in this game, you never feel super "op" and work for what "op" you have. I was able to plan out stats even for field checks (which leads to more gear etc.) on my first playthrough (I used the game's saves, but it would've worked out anyway.) Moreover the enemies and world were pretty unique and left a lot open ended. I wish we had a sequel, while not short, I think this game left room for more adventures or enemies.
