So, this story is an odd one. It takes some moves in directions I like. The maps and other visuals that can be optionally added in were a really nice touch. The story starts off giving you so much information and it seems like you're going to be in for a long haul with tons of interesting twists.... and you are... until the end. From the point you reach your first possible "ending", the game just rushes towards a finish line in a way that is very boring. It's like the creator of this game put their heart and soul into writing the first 1/4 of a massive story they planned... and then all of a sudden realized that it was due for release the next day and just cobbled together a quick wrap-up at the very last second for the other 3/4 of the story. I recommend this one as its interesting and a concept I would LOVE to see thought out more in a follow-up, but I still can't give this higher than a 6/10.3 found this helpful
I've played games by similar creators, this game is by far the worst. Very short, hard to understand, unengaging dialogue, characters feel boring and flat, choices don't matter. I played on normal and it felt like a normal difficulty so as long as you pick the right difficulty you can have that experience. Would not recommend, better off playing better rated games in similar categories. I rarely review, but this game was so bad I had to2 found this helpful
Think Mad Max and Fallout set in Spain. Enjoyed it and there was a few twists and turns I did not see coming. Nothing bad to say about it. First run was 2 hours and can see myself replaying it again. Reminded me a little of the old book series - Freeway Warrior. Made by the same people who did the Lone Wolf books. Even down to the maps and1 found this helpful
Good game, lots of branches and has a lot of replay value. However, the story itself is pretty quick and if you intend on trying to discover everything, many details would get boring quick.1 found this helpful
This is not a bad game. It's just way too short and not as good as many other text-based games. The ending is almost a cliffhanger and leaves a lot of loose ends. The writing wasn't that great either, so it's totally fine to skip this one.
It strayed from the original direction rather suddenly. Post apocalyptic wasteland? I was on board. But suddenly there's a vampire-zombie serum and a rocket to space? Cowabummer. I had hopes for this, but lost love for it quickly.
