Opening scene was interesting although a little unstable. New author. No big deal. As things progressed, I had very little trouble envisioning the world of Varkana--with minimal description. Props to the author.
But, the plot was rough from the beginning and only seemed to get worse as the game went on. I don't remember too often, knowing what I was supposed to be doing next ( I plan to replay to discover if that could have been mostly my own fault ). I finally reached a point where I couldn't further the story, regardless of what I tried, so I broke down and looked at the walkthrough ( I hate having to resort to hints and walkthroughs ). Nevertheless, I was very disappointed as to how things turned out after having started with so much potential. I wish the author would work out the bugs. Could be a really nice piece.
