Ratings and reviews

I wish that I was able to review previous information easier as it makes pausing the game risky, and the travel section can get confusing. That said this is hands down one of the best games I've ever played, the plot, the detail, the investment in the characters is almost immediate. No waiting to play, ads are rare, and the game is free.

It was a thrilling experience from begining to end. All of my decisions made a incredible difference to the outcome of the story. I sat through the story in 2 days and it was one hell of an experience. From beginning to end the story kept me thinking about all the decisions and how I was suing my time. The end was one hell of a roller coaster of feelings and joy. The romance aspect of it were done very well, I appreciate some love here and there. There are some minor spelling errors, but meh.

It's a fun choose your own adventure novel, but the big i issue had with it is that once you near the end of the game, leading up to the tournament random chance can end a character that you spent hours getting to that point. I was killed by a group of bandits because I couldn't pay them, and didn't have enough money to fight them off. There was no way to avoid that, and no way to start back at a save. it ends that playthrough, and brings you to the beginning.
