A powerful sorcerer is on the cusp of dominating the land. A group of

Sorry about that, I set them up in the editor, so I don't know what's wrong. I'm not very good with all this tech stuff!! :)

I was an early kickstarter supporter of this. I love the game style, art style, even the music. I played the original web demo several months and really didn't want it to end!

Looking forward to release eagerly. For those who didn't kickstart it, it is an amazingly low price for such a great game.

I fixed it up as best as I could on the front page for you Corwin since I don't have the press release, or original information.:handshake:

I tried out the demo for awhile. I like it, it reminds me a lot of Wizardry IV: The Return of Werdna. I only wish they had had more money to spend on making the game, to make it at least on par with something like what Wizardry 9 should have been, graphics and gameplay-wise.

Kudos to the combined efforts of Corwin and Couchpotato putting this up!
Dev here if anybody's got any questions/comments you'd like me to address.

I'll toss in some of the links in BBCode so that they're more click friendly, then pop in some screenshots at the end of the post.
