User reviews

Wow!

I love books and I love video games and this combination was perfect for me! There's adventure, romance and personality in the choices you make. My character felt like me and I can't wait to get more endings to see what else can unfold. I definitely recommend purchasing this, you wont regret it.

Very well written and enjoyable

Many different paths provide a lot of replayability, and the whole adventure is written well. Highly recommend this one.

Gladstone’s fantasy worlds are amazing

Set in the World of the Craft Sequence, Gladstone builds an imaginative interactive experience for the player.

Evocative, mysterious, and great fun

Like the other Gladstone Choice of Games game, I replay this every few years. I have a tough time picking a favourite. But I think the world of Dresediel Lex is tough to beat. Again, Gladstone writes in a spare, but beautiful style, and again you have choices and characters that intrigue you and draw you into their thankless world. I hope you enjoy this as much as I have.

Yes.

That aside, this was an interesting mix of the previous game. A good note that charm isn’t as flexible as it was in the previous game (I pretty much won with a maxed charm stat) so you actually have more importance in everything else.
