Ratings and reviews

It seems my previous review got deleted. Honestly while I'm happy that the author got their game out, this is terribly done. The grammar and spelling are not only bad, but the writing itself is very amateurish. Hosted games really needs to get some proofreaders and editors rather than just publishing whatever comes their way. With the quality of a lot of the works, this simply doesn't compare, and I can't in good faith pay money for it or recommend it.

There's quite a few mistakes that just kept taking me out the story as I tried to piece together what it was saying. The stats didn't really seem to matter as I had no problem using things I'm not good at. I played it a few times and the pacing is just awful, the characters dry, the plot railroaded. Very short game, very few achievements, not a great experience overall. Would not recommend, play Choice of Magics or Sorcerer's apprentice instead.

Very short, common English mistakes sprinkled in, feels too much like a videogame at times, some scenes are non-optional and make no sense if you take the villain ending, endings don't at all feel worth it, shoddy writing in general, magic system is kind of boring since it's never explained and just functions as a means to an end for the magic story the author was envisioning
