Player Comments on The Tower: Embarking from the Far Land

I found this game not quite as interactive as the prequel, but still incredibly fun in its own way. It was great to see G(l)aile again, for one. The time mechanic was also lent an actual sense of urgency to the story, as I found myself panicking as time began to run out despite the fact that this is a storygame, haha.

There were a few loose ends - such as one page that mentioned SCORE when it wasn't referenced anywhere else in the game - and the link to the encyclopedia didn't work, so I had to guess all the quiz questions.

All in all though, worth the time to play, and still a very entertaining and gripping adventure in G(l)aile's saga.

Excellent use of the land and interesting, creative premise. At the beginning, and throughout some of it, the writing and dialogue is really good with barely any typos or anything; I was impressed. In certain sections, though, it seems sloppy and not nearly as good, making it seem inconsistent. Also, I'm not sure there's enough time to do many, and certainly not all side quests, I think the timer should be modified. A cool effort, could be expanded and modified to be really great in V2.

Interesting. I got the second pass, but I'm not sure what it does. Used it to restart, but didn't notice a difference.

Intriguing game though. The concept behind it was cool. Just wish it was longer, and you got to explore a bit without being timed.

Cool. Didn't get to see score at the end. Hope I did it right. Any Serenia games still planned?

That was actually pretty fun. I think you should have made it a stand alone game though. Its NOTHING like the first one in the way its played.

Not NEARLY as good as the other one. I kept dying trying to get to the portals in the right order. I look forward to playing OMS now. 6/8

I think it was alright. It was interesting, but was less so than the original.

8/8 I have played this like 50 times now. The 2nd password didn't work, though.

Yes! Finally. Hahaha... I still don't know what the password is. :)

Great game. The first one is better but this one is really good too.

Not NEARLY as good as the first but ok nonetheless.

The first one was faaaar better and less monotonous...

Pretty good work JJJ. Especially the parts that I_ Kidding.

Well done, good game. I did all the side quests but found I wouldn't have enough time so did it again without it.
