Great continuation of untold and red tide - nice references to those games if you've played them previously but prior experience not required. This does feel a bit more difficult to start off with, mainly due to the debt collectors however beating the pit and everything the arena does help a lot. DLC was also a fun diversion and probably helped with the difficulty. I look forward to more content from these developers.

Really enjoyable text-based adventure/rpg. Interesting story and characters, meaningful choices, and an excellent "branch playthrough" system allows you to explore different paths. Sometimes narrative branches are a little clumsy and it takes a moment to catch up & reorient yourself, and there are some minor balance/polish issues, but overall an extremely good game. If you loved the Sorcery! series, you'll love this.

amazing experience. if youre looking for a sign to play a new game, this is it!! played thru red tide and thought nothing could top it, the pacing, the writing, the combat, all top notch, carefully planned while leaving room for creativity. makes me want to try my hand at making a CRPG but I know its harder than it seems. (im curious as to the tools used, if ur reading this Dear ActNone :)
