Player Comments on Goldbird and Whispers of Snow

The writing in this story is simply outstanding but sometimes a little bad. The setting, character, and the theme match each other pretty well. The descriptions of Solhaven are delivered in a measured balance without much complexity, and the tension is let build at a slow pace that draws you in. In addition, it has well written and flowing grammar., something which not all stories succeed in having.

Yet despite all the interactivity, the story falls a bit short. There are too many meaningless decisions, and too few actual branches that have any impact on the story's progression. Sometimes you'll be asked to decide on your next action, but often the story will insist on taking you down a single road regardless of what you choose. The restriction prevents replay value and can frustrate players who are expecting their decisions to have consequences. There are also moments when higher-tension scenes feel a little pointless, and the chapter breaks can feel a little boring at times.

However, it's a worthwhile adventure for one who's fascinated by the story. It leaves one thinking long after they've concluded it, ideas are remarkably original, and the writing quality makes it stand out compared to most story games one can play on the website. It lacks much freedom, but it's well written. In the end, I would never have suspected the main character was the chosen one himself.

I would like to congratulate the writer for a well written ( sometimes not as well as expected but still good ) story. My honest rating is 6/8. Also, more people need to read this story, it does not deserve to collect dust on a shelf.

This had real promise, but most choices lead to the same place. There's very little player control, which is too bad.

This is well written and should have a lot more reviews than it does - the writing is good and flows well, the settings are interesting and the characterisation is good. Not much else to say, on the whole this is just an interesting and well written story that more people should read!

This is good for what it is
