There is a short review of the game in #162 of the french video games newspaper "Canard PC" (page 10). The review is good, insisting on the old school aspect of the game, comparing it to Arcanum, Ultima and Wizardry.

I especially like the Quicksave. :) It seems to me that you especially like the quickload :) . Anyway I was only proposing to add permadeath, not to change the usual way of playing. You don't need a built-in mechanic to do this - just use your own willpower! And if you want to play Ironman, you pro...

I'd stay with the permadeath way. When death of your character is not a big deal (because you can load back a previous save, or continue from a spawning point), you tend to play uncautiously. Roguelikes are great for that : they have minimal graphics, but you care for your character like in no other...

Running game under Ubuntu with Wine

I've just discovered your game, and as a big fan of solo RPG, I can't wait to play it ! I'm an Ubuntu user, and when I launch the demo with wine, the "Launch Menu" window appears, but it's empty. If I click on random on it, I can sometimes launch the game in a window. Do you know if there ...
