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.

A fantastic game set in the greatest fantasy setting ever written. However this by far the worst version, the text is really like eye strainingly small with tons of empty space covering the screen, even the buttons are hard to press with how small they are. There doesnt seem to be any option to adjust any of text sizes in game though and this problem makes it very unpleasant to play.

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!
