I played some of the original KQ games way-back-when and was really excited to get the opportunity to play this fan-made sequel.
Positive: - The atmosphere in the game is outstanding. Really pulled me in.
- Great storyline/plot.
- Graphics and MUSIC are superb. Great job on those!
- The voices of the narrator/characters are very good.
- UI is not bad.
"Negative" - It felt more like an interactive movie than a true KQ game. I remember puzzles to solve and applying logic - none of that was to be found in this episode..it was 95% just 'click to go and talk'. That was, admittedly quite a let-down.
- The sarcasm/humor in the narration was not subtle at all. It was actually to the point of being annoying. The narrator did a good job though - but the material she was reading was simply too heavy-handed on the sarcasm.
- WAY too short. 15ish minutes of 'movie-play' and then it ends. I'd much rather wish that the game had been delayed another 6 months and released maybe in two halves. Maybe the decision was PR/keep an interest but I fear that it may have quite the adverse reaction as even myself find myself to be less 'excited' about following episodes as this was such a let-down in gameplay and length. I think there was a serious lack in judgement here
It's hard for me to call out 'negative' things as this is obviously in much a labor of love by and for the fans of the series. Thanks to all involved for creating this. It might not, as per above, be what I had hoped for, but you still did something that most of us could not do.
