not bad

a lot of reading. seems like a cross between a text adventure game and a graphical game.

Great Story!

An extremely well crafted adventure! The graphics and combat style is obviously a bit dated, but still very entertaining and doesn't detract at all from the excellent narrative!

Alot of fun!

Simple yet elegant. Just how I like my RPGs these days. Most games today have way too much to learn, remember and utilize.
