What players say
Continues to be one of the most satisfying games to quickly fire up when friends visit, talk them through the story and let them enjoy the narrative. I'm still yet to "solve" some of the storylines, I think this is a beautiful piece of micro-art.
Somehow my most played game on steam. Probably some idle time but I do remember my friends and I playing the absolute heck out of this game back in the day. 10/10 Its great fun with some friends. You'll win, you'll lose and you'll have fun the whole time.
Always a light fun time with the friends. Was shocked and devastated when I outplayed the terrible lute bard and found him hanging in the woods with a note pointing me as the cause . Sometimes failures are unexpected and funny and other times it wrecked so many things, even to the end. Only wish I could adjust the volume when streaming for friends T.T
