Great if I didn't have to pay twice

It's a great game but you are only getting 1 star because I already bought this game a few years ago and now for some reason I had to buy it again (meaning it cost me a total of $13 instead of $6.50)

I want my money back for this purchase!!!

Great

Great Story will remember this one for a while.

An unexpected pleasure

This is a fun romp with a subtle level of divergent humor. It feels like an E.E. Doc Smith adventure, with some Harry Harrelson icing. It is hard to predict just what the result of different choices are, but each leads to a smile or a chuckle.

Both funny and deep

This has become my favorite light-hearted and fun Choice of Games game. The story never takes itself too seriously, but still manages to pack in a lot of moral ambiguity. Plus, Lloyd may be one of the most funnest characters I've seen in an interactive fiction. It's snarky, funny, and your relationship can actually make a difference to the story.

On the downside, everything before the ending has no real replayability. I wish there was a save point at the last chapter, since that's where the plot really starts to diverge.

Choiceofgames are great.

This title was amazing. The plot was interesting, the situations were compelling, and the twists were all interesting to explore. I recommend this highly to anyone who likes text-based adventures. This title is just zany enough, and it doesn't take itself so seriously as some others.
Five stars all the way!
