This game has a fairly large map,with a small number of puzzles that makes the whole game manageable.
You are a spy called Archer who is investigating corruption for a king.
There are only a few puzzles, and the solutions are generally very easy or of the guess-what-the-author is thinking type.
The writing was very descriptive, but the game is unpolished (like when a room contains An Evidence). The interectivity was frustrating at times.

The "puzzles", as the walkthrough generously refers to them, are all of the mundane lock-and-key variety. There are multiple endings, but none of them seem relevant or even worthwhile, since your character has almost no personality and your quest no substance. I would suggest this fiction might be better told in a non-interactive medium, such as a short story, hopefully forcing the author to be more focused in both preparation and execution. But as an interactive world it is ultimately a sloppy and uninteresting chore. (by Nate Dovel)
