Hmm. Honestly I'm puzzled. Not by the game but a few comments made toward the game. This is what I have to say.
The story of the game is stellar. It captured my interest with relative ease. It dictates the lore of the world without the content being overwhelming. My favorite thing within the game is the conversation with Captain Duprey. It's rich and enthralling.
The art and animation is good, with minor faults that don't trigger me too much. The minor fault being that MC and Markus lips do not move when they're text speech surface. Also, MC and Markus general art seem off, older even.
It's mentioned that $12,000 was spent on this project. I could see where the money was spent. And I see the passion poured into this game. And I normally don't donate. But, I would donate to this game because I could rest easy knowing that my money isn't going to waste.
The combat needs tuning. I'm sure it'll receive it as time goes on. The combat is mediocre to me, but, it isn't braindead. For the last combat available in the prologue it takes strategy to win. The combat is just lackluster at the moment. I'd recommend better combat sound effects. When I attack a target make it sound like I'm cutting into flesh; instead of the sword swinging sound.
In closing. I love this game. I look forward to its growth. And I look forward to supporting this project the first chance I get. And anyone reading this, give the game a shot, it's worth it. Damned Studios, good job, I'm now going to stalk you game. <3
