Set on the frontiers of Rome, you play as a doctor, practicing ancient medicine. Up front, I have to say that this is the best written game I've ever played, with prose that sings like Apollo's lyre. This game gives a glorious glimpse into regular Roman living. The 3D modeling and real time lighting ooze retro style charm while being reasonably modern. Its a history lesson and a work of art you can explore. 5/5 sushi rolls.2 found this helpful
Really enjoyed my time with this one. It's a bit janky and the UI could use some work, but it's an interesting little game with some cool ideas that's definitely worth checking out. :)1 found this helpful
Janky little game. Has some charm in it. Right now the game feels more like a demo, would like to see more updates in the future. Negative side: Stutters too much. Seems like not everything is unlockable, like some materials can't be found for crafting cards, which means some achievements can not be done. Herbs seems to not have any use as of now other than turning for quest. Can't sell excessive herbs for money. Can't figure out how to heal if you take damage.1 found this helpful
Quaint little game. It's a little janky, but I'm curious for next chapter.1 found this helpful
