What players say

I have been playing this game for years. It is a great throwback to the Sierra Quest for Glory games. The protagonist, Roehm, is funny and entertaining, but he's a strong character too. The story is pretty good, with interesting characters, and great character development. I also love the comedy thrown into the plot and story - it makes the game even more charming. The artwork and spritework are beautiful, the music...

An ABSOLUTE MUST PLAY for any Quest for Glory lovers out there. Like, these people spilled QFG love all OVER this game. I also just listened to a podcast with the founder of the studio, and heartbreakingly, this game COST HIM MONEY to make. Like - he's in the negative. Which really stinks. So please do yourself AND him a favor and buy it. Its great.

Grew up on old Sierra games in the 90's and I LOVED this game so much. Best of both worlds to get to combine the nostalgia factor with a new game to puzzle through.
