Have played a bit and generally enjoyed (but also kind of hated) this blast-from-the-past text adventure. It suffers from the problems that these games suffered from 30 years ago when I played the original zork, adventure, scott adams etc - basically there are not enough clues on the correct terminology to use or how to proceed when you get stuck. I will keep plugging away.

Being a big text adventure fan back in the eighties I was so excited to find this game! Reminding me of Magnetic Scrolls The Guild Of Thieves. I loved it. This is a huge game as text adventures often are. It took me 50 hours to complete. The game therefore is a bargain. I would have paid a lot more. There are some great puzzles to solve. You will need a lot of paper to make maps. Yes there are the same frustrations of finding the right words needed, but it wouldn't be a text adventure without that. Please make more games like this.

This is the second text adventure that I've played from these guys, but it might be their first released.. I've been a massive fan of this genre, so it's great to see it make a comeback. The Eye of Borrack is a classic fantasy text based game, with some great humour, a powerful parser, challenging puzzles and some lovely images. It really reminded me of the old school games, especially the works of such greats as Magnetic Scrolls and level 9, which in my book is a very good thing. Overall a great, fun game, and worth anyone's time .

A great little text-driven graphical adventure game that takes me back to the glory days. Descriptive locations, interesting characters and a retro feel makes this game a mini masterpiece. Highly recommended!

This a creative game with NPCs you can communicate with and lots of good solid puzzles. The artwork works well but can be removed for a text only experience. A lot of fun and worth your time! Note: Be sure and read the manual as it has lots of good tips on how to play and how to use the game's interface. They did this deliberately to make it feel more retro! Very cool!

The vocabulary used by the game is far too small, leading to a lot of frustration when trying to accomplish small tasks.
