A wordless interactive comic where the narrative branches are determined by rolling a d6 (or just picking a number between 1 and 6, if you're so inclined).
The clickable PDF works well and the art style is cool, but what story there is can be pretty much boiled down to 'a humanoid fights some monsters and some people, maybe after getting resurrected once or twice'. Fans of action scenes will likely enjoy taking a look at this, but people who prefer plot or characterisation may be underwhelmed. 3/5 stars - enjoyable.
Just an unrelated comment: itch’s algorithm is all or nothing, so it’s either 5 stars or no stars and it flunks all things less than 5 stars. It’s recommended we just 5 star things and write the actual review in the comments.
I've heard that assertion before, but when I asked the person who said it to provide the basis for it, they cited a Twitter thread that actually featured an itch developer firmly establishing the opposite. I'm open to shifting my review behaviours if there's evidence that this is a genuine issue, though, and I realise the algorithm could have been changed since last time. Do you have any evidence you'd like me to take a look at?
hey thank you for the unexpected review! I actually agree with the story issues you've brought up, maybe we'll do something about them... sometime soon ;)
You're welcome - I tend to try and review a few items from the big charity bundles when I get them, since I know many people get overwhelmed by the huge list of titles and don't know where to start. I'd be excited to see what you come up with in future! :)

Currently not no. If I do coma cross that info either side I’ll post it here for you! Thanks for taking the time :)
Cheers! :)
