Ah, Rutskarn. He's a member of Shamus Young's LP crew. A pretty cool guy.

VioletShadow and Deuce Traveler - you two make a good reviewer tag team - thanks!

Indeed, keep it up with those duo reviews.

A D:OS review would be particularly apt.

Nice review, bros. This game is more or less what I expected it to be. Your review confirmed my assumptions. Added Unrest to my wishlist.

You should talk VS into it. She's more than halfway done. I can't run it properly on my laptop, and it will be a few weeks until I can get back to my desktop at home.

 

[VioletShadow]

Deuce Traveler Overboard I can't be talked into it! Ever! My fear of the codex masses is considerable.
Seriously, I'm you think I should write D:OS review, but I'd rather one of the oldfags around here did it. It's a truly great game that deserves a great review, and anything I could come up with wouldn't do it justice. You can bet I'll be up on that review thread giving feedback, though.

But which Codex oldfag is qualified to review a relationship simulator?

Aww that's really unfair, com'on! ... but Crispy and root duo review would work.

Edit: Both main characters must be female.

Ah, Rutskarn. He's a member of Shamus Young's LP crew. A pretty cool guy.

Didn't he start some shit a few years ago? Yes, he did.

 

[Koschey]

A little strapped for cash right now, but I'm definitely going to give the game a spin. Nice and informative review, as usual.

Looking up all 'drama' between twentysided and the Codex, one can even find story fragments of sea's assimilation into the Codexian Collective. :D

Resistance is futile.

Looks like they add too much fantasy elements to the setting.
That's so unfortunate man.
Why don't they use more familiar ages in India civilization like the reign of Ashoka, the Mughals, or the rise of Chola Empire and shit.
But the age when Chola raped Srivijaya will be the obvious win.
Anyway, the gameplay is more adventure than RPG, so I'm not that excited even with all those wild dreams of mine.

Wow, this game was short. Good but short, expected some of the characters to have a second chapter.

I agree. Some of the characters' stories felt a bit underdeveloped compared to others.

I have put about a couple hours into it so far, having a lot of fun. Writing's good and I get the sense that there is a lot of nuance in how things can play out depending on your choices... at one point I even got some extra dialog because I turned down someone's offer for help on principle not once, but multiple times, which apparently pissed them off and got them to give some insight into the story I don't think I'd have gotten otherwise. Very cool!
