I tried to play this without a walkthrough I still had to frequently look things up in wiki and restarted several times, but then I finally thought I had got a hang of things. If you dabble around and just try to do things your way at your leisure, you don't stand a chance. In practice the only ways to beat this game are 1) following a walkthrough guide written by someone else, or 2) spending countless hours meticulously trying different combinations of things out and creating your own walkthrough guide. The game seems to be a cornucopia of fun choices, but in reality it is a jigsaw puzzle that you need to solve blindfolded. And not only that, there's an enormous amount of stuff one simply needs to know and do to be successful, a lot of which is not at any point directly told in or often even deductable from the information available in-game.

Everything needs to be found out via trial and error. The story is not as captivating as in many other AliceSoft products, but then the focus of this game is in other things than pure storytelling.īad things: incredibly poor UI, severe lack of crucial information in-game, and horrid gameplay design choices ruin what could potentially be an exhilarating game. This is a very ambitious and complex game, and I was initially thrilled by the combination of strategy, RPG and visual novel elements.

Good things: great amount of content, very original and interesting gameplay ideas, nice graphics (for the age and style), good music. Vote: 4.8 machinesmile on last updated on
