A large, interesting fantasy game marred by translation and programming bugs, May 16, 2016
by MathBrush

This game is a large and ambitious fantasy adventure with a lengthy prologue, a lot of dialogue, scenery changes, colored text, etc.

However, the game was translated from italian, and the translation has many problems. Fortunately, a walkthrough was provided, but at one point it becomes useless, and no amount of wandering could help me find the exit.

This game exists in an Italian version; given the promise of this game in english, I can only assume that this game is quite good in italian. I don't know if the other bugs still exist in that version.
