Not finished yet ~ good so far I like that the choices you make affect your stats, and that you can check your stats at any time. I found myself enjoying the characters as well. Fun game! My only complaint is that I wish the text was broken down into smaller sections that you push "next" in between. That's because it's a little intimidating to click "next" only to get hit with a giant wall of text. I realize it's a text game, but yeah lol anyway highly enjoyable!

Not as much of an interactive book as you'd expect from a text-only choices-only game, but an actual fun game somehow Probably not worth that price, but they don't write their own stories so i'd think there's a lot of cuts to split

A really good game. The mechanics for fighting are wonky in my opinion, but nothing to terrible. Overall I would recommend it
