User reviews

No information.

The game gives you absolutely no information. You start off in a blank field with a card, figure maybe I should move this to here and that’ll do something and it does… It tells you nothing about what you’re doing or why.

Играть в двоем

Почему нельзя было реализовать играть сразу несколько партий? Как такое можно было придумать, что пока не доиграл - нельзя еще одну партию начать??? В чем логика?

A powerful and unique experience

A game about games, a game about existence, about living and dying and dreaming, about quests and temptatons and betrayals and sacrifices. It might entertain you. It also might change you.

No tutorial

Bought this game and I’ll never play it because there’s no tutorial and I’m confused.

まとまりがない

時間制限でプレイヤーを急かす割にテキストが多すぎる。1話目がチュートリアルなのもマイナス評価。1話目こそ最高の物語でなければならないのに。単調なのにプレイングの精度を求める点もマイナス評価。
