What players say
My word: Fortress I have to say, I bought this on a lark, and played through about half of it a year and some change back, and while I haven't changed overly much as a person, during that time my mother passed away. I came back to finish this tonight and landed on the ending, an experience that brought some tears. Thanks for the excellent game!
