Tips and Hints

Visit everything you can before leaving an area, always upgrade your statistics if you can. If you don't you may find yourself stuck.  READ EVERYTHING.  Also visit libraries for important tips on the game.  Getting the most weapons as you can is essential as well.

Do not say this in your comments PLEASE!!!!

I realize that not every link displays a page number.  This is because, previous page links, next chapter links,  and links that have nothing to do with the story get nothing.  DO NOT BASE YOUR COMMENTS ON THIS!!!!

I also realize that its very possible to cheat in many parts of the game.  Deal with it.  Cheaters will be cheaters.

I also also realize that sometimes when you die or win a battle, the events will be hazy.  There are two reasons for this, one I cant reveal as it partains to the story.  However battles in this game are not "hollywood-ised".  Often people die without knowing what happened.  Suddenly your laying there with blood pooling from your arteries and you have no idea what happened.  That happens quite a bit in the game.

Length

The length in this game varies based on your difficulty level and your choices.  It can be anywhere from a length six to a length eight.

The JJJ Challenge

If you either beat this game with the best ending I will send you (via e-mail) a formatted strategy guide of the tower including how to get the best possible score, in the making, secrets of the game, complete walk through, and most importantly G(l)ailes epilogue.

Player Comments

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!

so, how can I have all the 10 weapons?

Also, the first time I took the quiz, it says I got less than 8 right. So I restarted the quiz. I changed only 1 answer, then I got 10 right? LOL

Well done. I don't think I actually deserved the score I got, seeing as I would go back if I made a choice that killed me, but it was fun. If I hadn't done that it would have been fun to play several times trying different choices.

I went through this earlier today and forgot to rate it... and this time I only got the poor finisher because I kept dying to the cannibals. Very well done.

Wow! Amazing game! I loved all the little side-quests and details you placed everywhere. The whole game felt like a well written interactive book. As you can see from my score, I beat the game and got the best possible ending, but I am still gonna replay this! While there were a few problems like the Orc negotiating and a few typos, it was still overall an amazing game!
PS: Ignore my previous comment.

Too damn buggy, I couldn't play the creek and half of the side quests weren't playable, other than that great game
