Game seems like it has some really good promise, but obtuse mechanics that aren't properly explained make it hard to become invested in the game and its story. 

The first thing that confused me was the Churches purpose. I did all four of the options given to me and it seems like certain blessings are either suppose to protect your from some bad endings or maybe they give you a better chance of rolling a good fate card, but even with out without the Blessings, it all seems really random still and made me wonder if the Blessings are more for story based events, combat events, or just the general events. 

Secondly, I fought the Witch and the Zombie Golem and never seem to make progress in any of the fights. The thread was interesting to use as a way to escape the Witch fight and I'm assuming these things are still being worked on, but I kept dying to her no matter what. The Zombie Golem wasn't affected by the Holy Water which seemed strange since in the Library, the codex states that Holy Water is effective against the undead.

Also, weird little thing happened when entering the Manor. I went in and saw the cutscene with the Vampires mocking the Hunter, exited  out on accident through the front door, and when I tried to reenter, the front door was locked. So I went back around to the back door and got the same scene once again with the Vampires. Not sure if that was intended, but it just seemed like that might have been an eventing issue.

Like I said early, this game seems like it has a lot of promise and I'm sure when it fully completed it'll be more the worth the time to get invested in. A little disappointed that this game took precedence over the development of ELGM cause I think that game was a lot of fun and some of your best work. Hope to see more of that once this project is complete.

Thanks for the review! The final release of the game should adress most of these issues.

As for ELGM, unfortunately it is simply too ambitious for the little income I make at the moment, so I have to focus on projects than can be completed in shorter bursts. Here's hoping that these smaller products raise enough budget to accomodate ELGM's development.

I figured as much, and that's promising to hear. Looking forward to the final release when it comes out then.

As for ELGM, that's pretty understandable. I had been working on a Gatch project of my own similar to ELGM but had to put it on hold as well since the work that needed to be put into it is a lot for a single person to do. Not only that, but I'm not a skilled artist like yourself so my amateur art wasn't meeting my expectations at the time. Here's hoping that one day will see more of ELGM, but in the mean time, plenty of us will still enjoy your smaller projects!
