Ratings and reviews

I feel like there is real merit here, but there are just way, way, way too many design/execution flaws in the UI for me to recommend. Especially at a full 10 dollar price tag (empty text pop up boxes, or ring advisors text boxes that are half off screen, making reading a guessing game). This is common enough on a 'supported' tablet with 4:3 ratio that I got frustrated and thought of trying to get a refund. I'll try it on a 16:9 phone later, but shouldn't have to jump these hoops (the text of a text based game is important!). Also, I wish the manual was a little better. More links to key features (such as working out how magic/seasons is determined, or if there is any carry over) but my rating didn't include manual's consideration, only the clipping text.

I had to come back and give a proper review. I was able to install when I made enough room on my phone... 3x the amount it requires. The game is excellent though! Honestly worth the frustration of not being able to install it for a few days. The mythos is rich, the gameplay is unique, and the story is super interesting and personally shapeable. Only downside for me is that there are some actions that dont behave quite as you'd expect, and some RNG is rather opaque. If you're unsure, try it!

The game itself is pretty entertaining. I imagine this is what old-school RPGs played like. I have been getting random crashes though (pixel 7). Only the event happening during the crash is reset, so it isn't a huge loss . It happened once when I was pretty far in a heroquest, and when I rebooted the game I failed the first stage of the quest, so crashes can be irksome. Otherwise, some UI elements are a little too small to comfortably handle , but no real complaints.
