How did you implement the Theme: Death Game in your game?
There are many deathy things. Some undead at the end of the game. The Infernite Queen especially but some others.

Did you implement any of the Bonus Challenges, and if so, which ones?
The gamesmaster is i suppose Bargrivyek the Orc-God. Make-Your-Choice is used at least twice because Rixlor gains in rank and he has to choose between his dream-counselor and his trusty warrior-companion Gaur

Does your game contain AI-generated assets?

Yes

I think a tutorial that strips alot of the functions is needed.

Hey i liked this a lot! I love this style of game and I just love RPGs generally.

What confused me the most were the controls, I found myself opening the list of commands again and again because I wasn’t sure what to press to do what I wanted at times. Maybe would’ve been nice to have a quick cheat sheet at the ready/on screen.

I enjoyed it a lot along with the soundtrack, well done. ^_^

Most gratified. i mean it was a horse-trading game to decide how Much of say, NetHacks or Umoria's controls to really integrate and a bunch of the movement commands at different contexts get intercepted (and not everyone including me was all that thrilled with the AI's selection of yhkjblmn or whatever the old NetHack set was -> I ended up appropriating half those keys for other commands like the shops.

So you did well to navigate that and maintain your sanity.

Gave you an itch follow, if you like the thing(s) on my other page(s), consider doing the same.

This game is really cool actually, being basically a simple text RPG where the map and characters are just made out of text characters. The music is nice, the premise is simple, if you don't pay close attention to the activity log and every bit of overwhelming text info on the screen though you'll likely get pretty confused on what to do. That said, I played only a short time but it was fun. But it was also not at all a horror game in any way. It seems like the foundation of a great RPG potential that could get expanded into something interesting. 10/10

The finale is mostly where the undeads are.

It would be incomprehensible how this connects in so short a play time unless one had actually been -on- SlothMUD.

(and within that, this Orc-fellow is a relatively recent online creation within that story)

But glad you gave it a shot!

Cheers!
