About The Lords of the Earth Flame
This attempt to revisit the unduly forgotten genre is a curious challenge and possibly the first step toward a full-scale rebirth of non-linear text-based quests. In the developers' enthusiastic view, modern graphics technology and friendly interface may help interactive fiction spring to a new life and find a well-deserved niche of its own on the modern gaming market.
Plot
The game's events take place in a fantasy universe closely resembling the Late Middle Ages. Take up the role of a guide to a trade caravan that—by a twist of fate—finds itself in a mountain cave. Your efforts to get out lead you to mysterious ruins, entering which may result in losing more than just your life…
Game features:
- atmospheric parchment-scroll interface;
- intricate non-linear plot;
- mood-setting soundtrack;
- replay value;
- more than 5 different endings.

Players appreciate Lords of the Earth Flame as a charming choose-your-own-adventure style game with engaging storytelling, pleasant artwork, and good atmosphere that captures the nostalgic feel of classic interactive fiction. However, they consistently criticize the game's brief length (1-2 hours), lack of meaningful path variety, and steep price point of 9.99€/$10, arguing it represents poor value for what amounts to a short interactive story experience.
An ok story game that reminded me a lot of the choose your own adventure books I used to read as a child. It was maybe ok for the price when it was 2,99€ and 4,99€, but now that they have increased the price to 9,99€ for no reason it is not worth it.4 found this helpful
The Lords of the Earth Flame is an interactive story in which your choice matters. If you haven't played these types of games before, you read the story inside the book and pick the path you wish to pursue. So, you can be cruel or merciful, etc. The game has a few endings and I explored most of them. The story surprisingly managed to catch my attention pretty early on, which helped me enjoy this game for sure. The art found inside the book is very pleasing to look at and with the music that accompany the game sets you in a nice ambiance, as if you were actually inside the story. The music does cut abruptly when it loops, but oh well. As for replayability, this game will last you between 1 and 2 hours, if you want to get most of the endings. I think the price for the game is a little steep, especially considering the length. It should be around $5 in my opinion. Overall, if you can survive the few typos found in the story and the sometimes repeating text or missing words (which happened twice in my entire playtime), this game is worth considering. I would probably get it on sale, unless you're a fan of these type of games. Mind you some people have reported the game crashing on …2 found this helpful

super short
This is 50c worth of writing for $10. The paths are all short and uninteresting.
