A compelling fantasy tale with a few minor issues, November 16, 2017I enjoyed the story in this game quite a bit, more than just about any other game in the competition.
You play as a magical crow who is fleeing a destructive sentient firestorm. You have to hop from town to town, trying to warn everyone while fighting a bad reputation.
I enjoyed the characters and setting; it was generic fantasy, but not swords and sorcery generic fantasy, more of Diana Wynn Jones or fairy tales.
There were some noticeable typos, though, which detracted from the experience.
If you enjoyed Harbinger...
