How it feels

A text-driven choose-your-own adventure novel where your decisions shape a fantasy tale of rebellion and companion bonding.

What players say

Players appreciate the griffon-raising concept and the writing, but many feel the story ends abruptly at its midpoint, just when major choices like rebellion or empire service are presented. The use of non-binary pronouns and inconsistent character gendering frustrates some, while others note that stats and their effects are not clearly explained.
