It's going to be hard to review without dropping a massive spoiler. It's a beautifully written game, if you like dark humour and wacky situations, and it really has a great balance of story progression and managerial dynamics. I got completely hooked to it, and finished in a couple of days. BUT what really spoiled it for me is how on rails the ending is. Once again, can't spoil, but you'd imagine that there could be varied branches to the end story, for a man with such a team, who could do MANY other things to guarantee himself a peaceful retirement. The fact that the authors decided it was one way only is really a shame. But eh, still the best written thing I've seen in the genre in a long time
First, I love interactive novels, especially on a phone, when written well they really can transport you to interesting places. But I've never found them to be captivating on PC. Sacred Fire manages to add some visual interest, a really strong system (I'd love to use that kind of motivation system on a tabletop game), and great writing, you are really getting into the world within minutes. Can't wait for the full game :D
