| A very well put together story. It almost felt like I was in the deep South of the United States. |

| Excellent adventure, good prose and a novel take on the gamebook format, meeting Robert Johnson on the way was an unexpected bonus!😎 |

A good quick play. I was surprised at this. The playing I found was good, although since I won on my first try I can't be sure. Good use of New Orleans as a setting and historical background. Grade: 93 |

| I ended up being scared to death by a field of zombi -- I feel that's the perfect way to go! Excellent modern tale :D |

First won this one a few weeks ago. Decided to try again recently, to see if I can catch any typos or the like (none found to date, unlike a few other works on here, long and short - you have my respect!) and if I can get an alternate way to win. Instead, I have so far discovered several more ways to lose I didn't even suspect existed - all of them quite memorable, to boot. I wonder if anyone else had discovered that getting reduced to 1-2 HP when fighting the Alligator allows you a way to not only continue playing, but even provides you with a cool (if not necessarily helpful) item? That was such an unexpected touch, but I'm glad it's there. In general, I really like the atmosphere here. I mainly wish it was a little longer - perhaps about the length of Golem Gauntlet? Granted, Golem Gauntlet is also almost completely linear, but I think it's achievable when the player apparently walks for hours without much happening in some of the refs, and considering that there whole mirror worlds, but which are simply a short (for the reader) walk to the boss. Someone else had described the combat as "unremarkable" or something earlier on. While this can be interpreted in different ways (i.e. a request for more Outsider-style unblockable enemy abilities, which are a bit of a double-edged sword, and excellent gamebooks like A Princess of Zamarra had functioned fine without them), I would agree that some way to enhance combat power for a fight's duration or get a fighting companion who is not lost in a cutscene would not go amiss. Lastly, I would say that while the optional sequence with the Civil War soldiers is clearly well-intentioned, it's unfortunately the most wooden part by far. Their lines, and your dialogue responses, all feel like you are tweeting at each other from different parts of the country, rather than as something ghosts dead for over 150 years and a tired, cursed, probably wounded man in an unfamiliar area would say on the spot. |
