Ratings and reviews

Interesting premise, but feels like an unedited first draft. I had to reread it several times to figure out what's going on, and am still uncertain in places. Sometimes the things characters say or do feel random or don't make sense. But the big thing is, at one point my character starts talking about finding the source of a "voice" as if I'd heard it before and I've reread the beginning over and over and there's never an unexplained voice. I don't wanna get my hopes up so I won't buy the full

I actually purchased this book. Excellent plot with a memorable ending. The way it ended seemed like a setup for a sequel. The characters are all easy to remember and the dialogue in the game is very good. While not completely perfect I felt the story had a good flow to it and the stats worked well. The story had some humor in it that I appreciated too. Like you jumping out windows and breaking stuff. Some of the in-game interactions were hilarious. It was a decent read.

I have enjoyed countless other games by this publisher and I am sad to say this is one of the biggest disappointments. Demon: Recollect is a game riddled with errors. Grammatical and spelling errors that should have easily been caught by a simple proofread. The story itself is written in a horribly uncoordinated way. You move onto the next page after the author seemed to stop mid thought and suddenly the reader is thrown into an entirely different plot thread. It is a mess.
