Maybe I missed it, but where does the name come from?
My only disappointment was the sudden end to this module after the fortress was attacked .. it's a little too short :(

Interesting gameplay, great immersion through atmosphere. Emphasis on story-telling, puzzles and strategy rather than hack'n'slash, just like a good pen-and-paper RPG ought to be. I really hope the series will be continued!

I think this is going to go far in the contest because of the original concept and because it is so competently done in all aspects.
I made it to the fortress, alone. :(
Cheers! :)

A really fun module with great cutscenes, best in the competition I've played. I liked the fact that you're never left wondering what to do or what is going on - it's full of excitement. As I said, the cutscenes were fantastic, and the module seems a lot more complex (while not adding confusion) than the others I've tried. I loved the story and the speed of things - only problem I have is, as ozDallo says, the dialogues are a little crowded. However, it's exciting and visually pleasing. Great stuff, and good luck! _________________________ City of Arabel

Not my cup of tea, really, though it has good elements, some of the cutscene stuff in particular has a lot of merit.
Often I thought there were too many dialogue options. Sometimes there were camera problems after a cutscene, and a couple of times I went uncommandable for reasons I couldn't really fathom.
Nice, if repetitive builds.

This is my favorite so far. It has great cutscenes and scripted events. Good story. I'm a big fan of running away from things in the dark too. :)
