Fun but...
This was a really fun and well-thought out game, but my experience in playing felt really dry somehow. First of all it was extremely repetetive fighting in the SAME EXACT cave 20 times and fighting the same exact enemies in each one. It also felt very lonely playing with no NPC's to talk to, when the old man left I really felt like I was in a ghost-town and it was kind of depressing. A little variety would have been nice to, like side-quests, one or two other places to be like other towns or maybe a castle or something to adventure in. The plot was very cool, though a little confusing, and we never did find out why the guy was there in the first place or how he got there.
I read in the extras too that you said you tried to make it so you could get married and have kids, hehe, that would be awesome if you could really do a game like that, you should try it sometime, like in a sequel.
Nonetheless the game was really fun. I liked the gameplay, the setting, your world was extremely creative other than lacking characters to give it more life, and again the story was alright. Other than a few holes this game was fun to pass time for awhile, but after playing it so many times it gets old...good game, but make it better, more varried, and long next time...
