Players have mixed feelings about this interactive fiction game. On the positive side, many appreciate it as a decent, fun experience that works well as a hosted game, though some note it feels a bit stretched out. The main criticisms center on generic storytelling that doesn't stand out, mediocre writing quality, and unusual graphic choices that feel out of place, with some players recommending superior alternatives in the genre instead.
The game is a decent amount of fun, but at the same time it is a bit of a slog to play through. Nothing really sets this story apart from most of the others you'll run into on here, but its by no means a bad game either. 6/103 found this helpful
I try to only write reviews if a game is really good or really bad, this game is the latter. Don't buy this game, extremely shoddy writing and generally bad. I would suggest fans of interactive novels to check out: Tin Star, Night Road, or Choice of the Deathless as each are significantly better.1 found this helpful
Great game, is a little stretched out but if you play hosted games this is one of the good ones.1 found this helpful
