Ratings and Reviews
A short quest to find treasure in a forbidden city, with an array of riddles standing between you and your final goal.
Well, you'll get two types of challenges here. Some are riddles, which can range from easy to fiendish. Others are dice rolls or coin flips. Still, how this works is that the game allows you to input a dice roll number or coin flip outcome of your choice. That said, don't rush to type a six on that dice roll just yet. Bigger numbers don't always mean success, so you might as well leave it to chance. The stat screen has a dice roll and coin flip function if you need it, but using it is optional.
It took me a couple of tries to beat this, and the lack of a save system or checkpoints means that you'll have to start over if you hit a bad end. Still, this was pretty fun.
The writing was fairly good, even if the game was short in terms of a single playthrough.
Hints for the last two puzzles: (Spoiler - click to show)If that last riddle is giving you trouble, think of something with nine lives. Remember, *knowledge* is important.
