    186 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story has received mixed reviews, with some praising its interesting twists and character development, while others criticize its lack of meaningful choices and immersion due to a passive main character. Many reviewers noted that the narrative starts strong but becomes predictable and anticlimactic, with a feeling of being guided rather than allowed to explore the story freely. Overall, while the writing is often described as engaging and witty, the execution leaves some players wanting more depth and consequence in their choices.

    • “This story was just great and I won't spoil anything but the replayability is tied into the story.”
    • “Wow, what a wonderfully written story!”
    • “This interactive story is pure gold; it was very fun to read/play.”
    • “This would have worked better if it had been the story about revenge and its price that it seemed to be at first.”
    • “In short, you’re told a story, and you’re told what you should think, which is not how a choose your own adventure should go.”
    • “But after your would-be magic teacher arrives, the story quickly downgrades into a third-rate fantasy time-killer read.”
  • humor
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is described as a mixed bag, with some players finding it hit-and-miss, ranging from dark and cynical to light-hearted and pervy. While some appreciate the witty and self-deprecating narration, others feel that the attempts at humor often fall flat, failing to elicit genuine laughter. Overall, the humor adds a unique flavor to the experience, though its effectiveness varies widely among players.

    • “This game was awesome, and again I find it funny that somehow I hadn't left a review (eyeing Steam with suspicion).”
    • “I'd have never guessed from the lame anime pictures and generic descriptions that I'd get a cynical, self-deprecating narrator, who sprinkles in plenty of dark humor.”
    • “Unlike an unfortunate number of stories, this one actually has jokes, humor, wit, and general awesomeness.”
  • replayability
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers strong replayability, primarily due to its branching storylines and the impact of player choices, particularly in selecting different personalities.

    • “This story was just great, and I won't spoil anything, but the replayability is tied into the story.”
    • “I recommend this game to people who love replayability and a fantasy story with a clever plot twist at the end.”
    • “I really like this method of using the stats as it rewards role-playing and adds flavor and replayability.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is primarily text-based with no graphics or music, which may not appeal to all players, particularly those expecting a more visual experience. However, it is praised for its strong writing and engaging storytelling, making it a compelling choice for fans of choose-your-own-adventure narratives, especially among a teenage audience.

    • “But the game remains really cool, as long as you like the type, of course - I understand many people won't like 100% written games with no graphics and music.”
    • “Only reason I write this review early (just an hour or so reading) is because someone labeled the (so far) best written text/story adventure book (I have read) a negative review just because he didn't read the shop description and was disappointed due to lack of graphics.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate that the game lacks music and graphics, which may deter some players, but those who appreciate text-based games still find it enjoyable. Overall, the absence of audio elements is a significant drawback for many users.
