What players say
Nice game, but the hard difficulty just ruins the whole fun. It doesn't require from a player better skill or understanding mechanics, no, it is just a stupid routine grind.

"Potion Seller, listen to me; I want only your strongest potions." My potions would kill you, traveler. You cannot handle my potions
I really like this game but unfortunately I am experiencing a lot of crashes. In a few hours of playing I will probably have 4 or 5 crashes. The last time also messed up my screen resolution lol. More frequently it seems to crash while trying to load a save, or fails to save at the end of the day. But sometimes it does just crash randomly in the middle of gameplay. On the plus side the game auto saves everyday so...
