It's a lot more atmospheric than I expected from the screenshot. The gameplay is pretty simple and slow, and it doesn't seem like there's really any strategy. I played to about 1.9 million souls, but Oblivion had over 4 million so there didn't seem like much of a point anymore."},{"author_name":"frnknstn","author_uid":"4823","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 8:26pm","epoch":1429820460,"text":"I have uploaded a Windows executable in a zip file.
