Indi Hugh

Just one of the most beautifully crafted choose your own adventure games I have ever played, as well as being extremely varied while remaining light.

Oopu Ray

It was an soul stirring experience. The plot was breath taking, the characters were interesting and overall a very good read. However two questions remained unanswered: 1. What happened to Dionysus? 2. Who actually betrayed the protagonist and his/her family?

Caleb Hollar

It's a really good game there's love there's revenge there's rage you choose how you want to live your life Ethier a dead man/woman or a hero.
