Trial of the Demon Hunter

My, my, how Choice Of / Hosted Games have grown! Not that there's anything wrong with their usual titles lacking both audio and visuals, but it's nice to see at least some of their text-based adventures blossoming out into those realms. Trial of the Demon Hunter not only has intermittent colour illustrations, but 34 minutes of music as well! Both are of pretty decent quality: the images are a tad photo-shoppy at times, and the music clearly created with the aid of synths and hardly boasting of the highest production qualities. But a couple of welcome and by-and-largely appropriate additions just the same (though I could've done with fewer modernisms in the music, like the infrequent faux bass guitar and occasional funky-arsed drums)! The biggest criticism I would make of the soundtrack, though, is that the single 34-minute track is an extremely dynamic one, which jumps around all manner of moods for its duration. The problem here, obviously, is that you might find yourself fighting to the tune of soothing piano-and-choral music, or enjoy a quiet, peaceful moment to the tune of thundering battle music! But it's clearly baby-steps where the Choice Of engine is concerned,…

Decently written but a lot of inconsistencies/bugs. Game can make mistakes like forgetting that your imp is in a specific form or letting your vitality drop to -5? But then another point of damage is the lethal one?

Despite this being a rather short story, I really enjoyed it. Normally, this would be a serious issue, but it actually helped the story flow rather well. I'm looking forward to the next one, and I would definetely advise reading this. I'd give this a 7/10.

It is a very short adventure, i dont know if there will be a second volume or not. And everything before the fight with the Vampire is handwaved. and the fights are very short. Worst three Bucks I ever spend.

Mistakes in game logic, parched narrative
