Excellent VN/Adventure/RPG Hybrid

Bought this off a sale, because it sounded interesting. Did not regret buying it at all. Sucks you into its world with beautiful, text based-descriptions. I honestly ignored the graphics most of the time. As a roadwarden you are tasked with finding your predecessor, exploring a wild hinderland and building trust with the world. Exactly this world interaction is what makes the game interesting, you feel free in your exploration (wthout a second playthrough it is hard to say how free one really is) and this it what really makes this one shine together with the belieable and detailed world building. At first you do not seem to be able to influence much in the world you are in, but it just takes time to explore and figure out the different possibilities until things start to click nice and rewarding. First playthrough took me about 12,5 hrs as a scholar and I think I got a quite "good" ending, I might start of again at one of my later saves to see how I can branch off from my beaten path,

Very Enjoyable

This is a very good and enjoyable text based game. You have got 40 days to solve the mysterious dissapearing of your precedessor as Roadwarden, and how you solve it is totally up to you. A very nice and catching game indeed and you can play it at your own pace. It´s very catchy and enjoyable and a pleasure to read. Highly recommended!

Engaging adventure for a low price

Really fun, but an interesting mix of stressful and relaxing. There's an overwhelming amount of things to do and details to remember, but also some very lovely imagery and bits of humor to cut through the murk. It makes the title, despite each playthrough being relatively short, surely feel like you got every drop of your money's worth for it, but also can be kind of exhausting if played without pacing yourself. Can be challenging at times, both with managing your stats and figuring out how to complete your tasks, since most require a detour or remembering where you can buy specific items. Many rewarding and exciting scenarios to roleplay with so far (as long as you like fantasy and survival themes). I love the music and visuals. They are simple, but have a nice atmosphere and do not strain the eyes or ears. Obviously not a game for people who don't want to do a lot of reading, since other than clicking around a map or in your inventory, that's all you do. I did encounter a glitch with refilling the cleanliness/vitality meters once. 40 days being the standard time for completing the goals of this game is either too much or not enough depending on the tasks you want to complete, but that was probably intentional to further challenge you to juggle your available time and solve some of the puzzles (or to help you decide to save things for later playthroughs). Got this on sale for pocket change, although I've been eyeing it for a while. It's a four-star title that I almost gave that extra fifth star for since it was so cheap, so the cost-to-play-time ratio is pretty unbeatable there. I may come back one day, after playing this game more, and finally add that fifth star after all.

Could not stop playing for 12 hours.

I'm older, and slower but can still enjoy an rpg that's story rich - and has multiple gray choices without too much handholding. It also has microelements of the first text based MUDs which ask you to input a key phrase correctly (thank you for keeping spelling relevant in this day and age). Love it. Bestiary is worth the dragon coin, if you read and learn how to use it. Dodge when you can, don't rush into every 1-1 battle.
