I love the original hook of the game. The fact that the protagonist and I were in the same situation – no knowledge of this crazy land – really gripped me. There was a mystery to be solved and I felt compelled to find out more. Why can't I die? What am I? The setting is completely unique for me. I loved the idea of planes of existence being reflections of the axes of alignment – Good, Neutral, Evil & Chaotic, Neutral, Lawful. The worldbuilding is very impressive. The world felt epic and expansive. I went from being completely bewildered by everything to being somewhat comfortable with what was going on. As I progressed further into it, I felt the gameplay start to get pretty tedious. It's just not that fun to click on monsters and wait for them to die in between finding places to rest. There wasn't much challenge or depth. What I really wanted was just to get to the next story beat. I got pretty lost in middle of the game and had to look up the solution as I didn't realize I had to join a certain faction to progress. After that was when it started to feel more like a slog and I was just going through the motions to get the story payoff. I felt the game did a great job at building up the initial intrigue. However, as the mystery started to unravel, I started to lose interest in the story. It didn't quite land as I would have hoped. At the final animation, I was left thinking, "is that it?". Overall, I'd say I loved the setting moreso than the actual game. Setting: Incredible Story: Ok Gameplay: Boring
