What players say

Players praise the writing, narration, and art but warn the game is packed with instant-death traps and very difficult, especially on expert mode. It follows a linear "one true path" design similar to Fighting Fantasy gamebooks. Some find the combat mechanics simple, while others appreciate the puzzle-like challenge.
