I liked this!

Quite good! The maps perhaps could have been a bit more intuitive, as I got lost a few times and it took me ages to find the proper place, but it’s a great rich story in general!

Unplayable due to bug

The very first puzzle in the prologue requires you to visit a well, but both links out of that page lead to blank pages and turns all the other tabs into blank pages as well, making it impossible to progress from there. Complete waste of money.

Response from developer

Hey there - thanks for playing, and I'm sorry to hear that! If you're willing, feel free to email me any more details at smallgraygames@gmail.com (if you're playing on phone or ipad, for example). Either way, I'll see what I can find and get a fix out for it ASAP. Sorry again!

Great game

I’m a big fan of fantasy and RPGs, including text based games, and The Salt Keep did not disappoint. I felt invested in what happens to the characters, and the story keeps you engaged with some fun twists and turns. It would be cool to have some sort of music or sounds to go with the different areas, but that said, the writing did a great job conveying suspense and urgency in the different scenes. I hope we get more games from the developer soon!
