Hello Blauz.,
I wish I could leave this review on the game page, but it appears you don't allow them and I can't leave them because the rules changed a few years back and I don't have the forum posts.
I've played some of your games before, or tried to. I must confess I've never gone very far as I found your style really hard to read. Your ideas are so interesting I keep trying. So I tried this one. I am very glad I did.
In my opinion, you have improved incredibly in readability. While some passages were hard to follow, many were fine, and I was finally able to play a game and appreciate the world and the characters you came up with. It was a lot of fun. The world building was interesting and done at a nice pace, and I really felt that I was experiencing the thoughts and adventures of a retiring knight in a harsh world. The combat system added to the feeling that the kirk thaen was a formidable fighter - but still mortal. It all worked together really well for me.
I got stuck at the tower to get his (her) parents back, but that was the first time I ran into a bad end but I stopped playing because I went to bed not because I was bored with the game. I'll definitely try to finish it off.
You've made many great games and you keep trying new things. I appreciate your dedication and inventiveness. Thank you for sharing Lysander's journey.
