Excellent game

This game was excellent, though I would love it if the writer of this game would create a game starring Merlin, or a female counterpart.

Could not have read a better book

Love this.
As a lover of fantasy and knight books this one excelled. It involves you into the story well and ropes you in for another hour of reading. All in all

11/10

Wish there was a sequel

This was an amazing game I absolutely loved it and I really wish there was a sequel but it didn’t even let me save a file so the chances are sadly low

My name isn’t ‘Art’. Try 3 more letters.

Ok so far, but I do wish people would stop calling me ‘Art’. It’s a name which never appears in the original stories for very good reasons.
In ancient Britain it’s a seperate name (celtic, meaning ‘bear’) from Arthur, and using it as a shortening of the name ‘Arthur’ is a modern American invention. No British person named Arthur has EVER been called ‘Art’.
It drags me out of the fantasy they’re trying to create to have people referring to Arthur in such a completely inappropriate way. It’s annoying me so much I’m finding it difficult to enjoy the story, which is pretty average fare so far anyway.
In the pipeline: this company makes a text adventure about the Second Coming of Jez.
See how irritating that is?

Honestly I didn’t love this game. The writing is over done and when read playing the female side seems forced and impractical. Relationships feel disconnected and character choice is limited.
