Great Potential, Terrible Series
If you like turn based RPGs with exploration and smart combat, you'll like the mechanics of this game. It's much smaller than, but reminiscent of Spiderweb's Avernum. There are some problems, but they are fairly minor, and the strengths more than make up for them. So why the 1 star? The first game does not, cannot, stand alone. I mean, it could have, with some minor tweaking, but it is very obviously the first of a series, and it is the overall tone and story of that series which is deserving of the rating. In short, the overall plot is nihilistic, and lacking in resolution. It all culminates with you making a choice which ought not be made hastily, where there is really no in-game reason you would have to make it hastily, without the ability to actually ask questions of the involved parties to determine the proper solution, with an obvious path forward to *test* the best solution, and without ever getting an answer about the resolution of the story. I strongly suggest you spoil the ending before considering spending money on this, as it is quite likely to leave you bitter.
