How it feels

You manage bounties and balance faction reputation in a medieval fantasy setting, where your survival hinges on careful choices and the story unfolds through randomized, text-based narrative.

What players say

Players say the game starts fun but quickly becomes repetitive with shallow systems. There is praise for the story and multiple endings, though getting them requires a slow multi-run experience. The UI is clunky and click-heavy, with no hotkeys, and a single looping track makes the audio grating. A single developer made it, and some note development seems to have stalled.
