- “The storytelling is unique from a narrative perspective, being presented as text in a variety of chat windows (pm/voice calls/video calls/text chats for region/guild/officers/etc), and you have to multitask a little bit to keep up with it--which is realistic, engaging, and conveys the experience in a way that pure words never could.”

Some players might be chattier and/or type very differently from others, and things; they might be small details, but it's so true in how a guild's members usually are, and it made me feel right at home here with these characters.”
