Neat little game in theory, horribly frustrating once you actually play it.
Navigating through the maps (even though they are pretty small) is annoying AF because instead of clicking on the room you want to go to, you have to walk through all the rooms between A and B, which just takes a ton of time.
There is no option to save and when you die, which even the description says is "often", you have to start at the very beginning again. I usually like to explore every option but with BS like this i just don't have the patience to. I have died twice in the first chapter and am so annoyed and frustrated that i will likely continue on with a guide, if i ever decide to open this game again.
I really like the idea of this dungeon crawler and am very disappointed that the exeution of this game is so poorly done.
it took me 30 minutes just to click through the game with a guide so not having the option to save when every fourth decision will kill you is just cruel.

In spite of the game's mediocre graphics I enjoyed it very much.
This game is very good for people who like gamebooks. So if you are one of them I recommend it.
