Finally! I have to say, this is my favorite 3J game on the site. OMS is great, but this is my favorite. Great game, 8/8. I'd rate it higher if I could. It's funny, it took me 42 tries (counting) to get a sparrow, but 2 to get a Galeine. You win epically, you lose epically. Good job 3J.
For a good five hours I played the tower. The game is awesome along with its features, but it desperatly needs to be fixed. JJJ I will email all the errors I got.

This is very impressive -- it definitely feels like a book yet has some very nice interactivity. Well written. As you can see from my score, I did not do so well, but I will try again -- I think there's some definite replayability as I realize I missed a lot of side quests.
I came across a handful of frusterating bugs in the latter part of the game (the Orc negotiating did not work and caused an undending loop), but I did manage to make it through. Few spelling/typos here and there, but those didn't hurt the game play. But, the bugs/typos did more it away from a perfect 8. Still, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Wow. This has has to be the best and most difficult game on this site. (at least that I've played) This is my favorite game, My favorite part was when I fought the cannibals. (i'm not sure why, it was just cool) This will win the $150 contest. I'm sure of that. Great game. Thanks, JJJ.

Hmm... What can I say? Fantastic gameplay built around a superb story structure. Contains a few spelling and mechanical errors (such as the repeated use of "apon" for "upon") but not insomuch as to decrease the play value. It's kind of surprising that I got the best ending with hardly any effort (I didn't know the grape to wine to jewellery side-quest would have such an impact on the ending!), but I guess my completionist tendencies paid off!!
Well, as I said, great game! I can't wait to read the encyclopedia you wrote!
AAAAAAARGH! I don't get it! I can't get all 10 weapons, and I don't want to half my score just to make it easier... This story is written pretty darn good and is also very difficult.
I. Am. Stumped. It looks like no matter what I do, the orcs take my money and I can't afford any weapons afterwards. I get to the Towar and pass the quizz, but I can only attack him with a mortal weapon...Dammit.

I finished!! Oh yeah!! But I got the poor ending... I'll play again sometime, I WILL get that good ending.
Bravo! I think this is your best game by far. I explained in the forums how Mattias was childish, this is more mature and enjoyable. Some scenes were rushed, and it seemed as if more could have been done to them. The ending was really a downer considering it took me 45 minutes to play through. I gave it a 6/8 mainly because of the ending. I think i have the "good" ending so thats not such a downer lol. I would not consider it an epic. I also mentioned in the forum that the Track was buggy, and your death scenes need to be more realistic. I know you said not to mention it in the comments, but honestly, it does weaken the game, if you like, i can discuss with you how to make it seem more realistic.
Overall: 6/8 Well Done!

Excellant game. LOL I loved what happens if you give the girl the ring and get the poor ending.

Awesome game! I finally figured out how to get the weaponskill at the troll canyon, although it is unexpected. There were a few glitches, and I spent nearly an hour trying to catch a Galeine, but this game is worth an eight out of eight. A few areas (the later districts of Sanctum, for instance) look a bit rushed, and although the game isn't as long as I thought it would be, you've done a great job and proved linear games are better than non-linear ones. Good effort.

Wonderful, epic story. Many things to do, secret things to figure out, side quests left and right, and a nice combat system. Great writing and most importantly, a lot of fun. I got the best ending! I have some questions about certain things in the story, but I don't want to ruin it for any players. Excellent job Triple J, excellent job. Well worth the wait man.
