    • “Quality game, one of the finest I have played, all dialogue and text is fully voiced, every bit of information, interaction and quest has purpose and reason and contributes to the story, no redundant plots and filler content. Everything functions in this well written, humorous, well acted and well designed quality experience, we need more focused games like this. 5 stars, 10/10 props the team .”
    • “The voice acting is perfect, the art style and music are done so dang well and the storytelling is so much fun.”
