@Lord EAA and others If you liked this, try Tales From The Bird Islands (its this plus multiple other islands written by several authors on the site). |

Spent entire timing getting money for everything, boat capsized, lost everything (and was back at starting island), went loot wreckage, got tired, eaten by hyena. Would have been fun if it wasn't for that. |
| In the standalone Isle Of The Cyclops you cannot escape Goi-Han... you need Tales From The Bird Islands if you want to do that. |

@Dead Adventurer Did you find out too that a pack of hyenas is the most valuable asset to a local economy?:-) I still remember paying my way with hyena pelts the first time I tried that adventure about a decade ago. |
| I subsequently limited the number of hyenas, I felt that the ecosystem couldn't support an infinite number of them. |

Thoroughly enjoyed this adventure, although it took a fair few attempts before I managed to get a successful ending. Nice work |

Still rather fun, if a little short and in some ways more like an rpg than a traditional gamebook with the monster area and village. I wanted to try the stand alone version before I give the more complete scenario in Bird Islands a go, though I'm interested to see what the additional challenges are. |

A fun little adventure, and I appreciate the efforts to allow non-linear exploring and to add replayability with random-encounter-style events. However, my problem was that there just aren't enough of these random encounters; having walked round the island in circles several times and slogged through seemingly endless tropical storms and hyena attacks, I started to get a little frustrated at the repetition. Having to pop to the pub in Han every time I ran low on stamina was also a little annoying. I still kept going to defeat the cyclops (with the aid of some lucky dice-rolling) though. |

This is terrible! All I have done is walk round and round and round in circles around the cliffs and hills. I met the Hermit guy and then found his amulet after killing the Bamboo Ape that stole it, but I couldn't find him again to return it. Then I eventually went back to Han to travel to Sempura, but the ship was rubbish and then I blacked out. Washing ashore on Han again, walking back round the cliffs. I decided to investigate the Blood Auk ship wreck for even more treasure than before, some purple crabs jumped out and killed me from nowhere!!! So I never got very far at all. If any of you guys have can you please let me know, coz I really wanted to get further! |

Not too shabby. First one I've tried. |

Using metres to describe the Cyclops's height doesn't really fit the feeling of playing a sword & sorcery type medieval game book. If it was a Sci-Fi Cyclops then perhaps, but here it should be the good olde English system of feet and inches. |

If you wannna get the best stuff constantly go north then south and sell the hyena pelts you get it's a really good tactic |

What an awesome start!!! |

Needs to be a way to regain luck points. If you fail a few checks you can't continue the adventure... |

Short game but very immersive. I liked it a lot. Thanks. :) |

All the characters have terrible luck. |

Completely random with regards to objects you need or people you need to meet before you get to the kill-the-monster-quest. Hence this game is too difficult! |

Not bad (My 1st one!) The numbers on the sections seem a bit redundant personally. Also there was only so far to explore before you found the treasure chest- I would have loved a larger initial area to give it some scope. Some of the sections were quite short for what was happening, whereas slightly longer sections would help with atmosphere. I also felt a bit short-changed when I failed one roll and died automatically! But overall a good job- some pics for the creatures/ locations would be great! |

Ahhh! Killed by one bad roll again! Did quite well selling the pelts too. Enjoyable, though the dice rolls could be presented in a sequence (one round after another) so that there's some tension rather than just seeing the result. Good! |

Cool, I love it, I will play another one. |

Great to see an adaption of Fabled Lands done so well! Exploring the isle is definitely fun with the various secrets. It's great to see these days that open world gamebooks appear to be making a comeback with Steam Highwayman and Legendary Kingdoms. I do have ideas for something similar with either Star Wars or Horizon: Zero Dawn... |

I have completed it with all the characters except Barabas. He is a fairly rubbish character. |

Tales of Bird Island can't be completed, so I guess I'd have to make do with this one. And after spending the last game trying to complete the Rich Challenge, I hereby nickname my hero the Island Hyena Hunter. |

I’m mid play through and enjoying it! Does anyone know which gamebook The Valley of Bones refers to in instruction 47? |
| It was one that Andrew Wright planned but never wrote. See here and here. |

It would be nice if fighting monsters if you lose to a minor one, you just had point deducted from your attributes instead of being killed! spent to bets part of hour collecting, fighting, etc got killed by a very low level animal! very annoying!!! |

Working my way through the site again. Apparently didn't comment on this last time, probably because I just switched to doing the full version. This one works pretty OK for a small standalone. Don't have much to say that hasn't been said already. It is what it is and the extra challenges add a bit, which is nice. 80/100. |

It's a shame that after all the prep I did that I instantly died.. I give it a: "Rocks fall" out of 10. |
