A few remarks though: at the start i needed some time to figure out how to escape from my cell. Some explanation about what the effects of the different spells are would also further improve the game. But enough with the criticisms! Excellent visuals, addicting soundtrack, great old-school feeling... This is one of my favourites!!"},{"author_name":"DuzDuz","author_uid":"56985","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 7:05pm","epoch":1440529200,"text":"Good game!"},{"author_name":"Claire1605","author_uid":"33844","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 9:33am","epoch":1440581280,"text":"Really liked this :) Took me a while to realise that you could go through the holes in the wall at first, but after that had a lot of fun exploring and killing mages!"},{"author_name":"highlyinteractive","author_uid":"14065","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 4:02pm","epoch":1440604620,"text":"Really nice work"},{"author_name":"Pietro Ferrantelli","author_uid":"30677","time":"Aug 27, 2015 @ 9:44pm","epoch":1440711540,"text":"WONDERFUL!
