An experiment from this author, as the adventure uses one of two pregenerated characters and is in the style of Fighting Fantasy, with some obstacles only overcome via specific items you must find. It is a superior take on the genre, and skilfully weaves adventures which are suitable for the differing special abilities of a knight and a sorceror into the same tale. There is an innovative shared dream sequence. Better clued than many of this type, although some replays will be inevitable, and possible frustration when your character is in a failure state but play continues.

Accurate links and text. A minor error: misaligned 2 in the title of entry 244. Marley switches from woollen to oilskin trousers, although he may have changed clothes.

Recommended. (Would add a star for a fan of Fighting Fantasy books.)

A good, well-written, interesting adventure. Worthy of 5 stars BUT...

I wonder if there's any thought been given to releasing a text-only version of this? AI has been used for the interior artwork and it is so bad it makes my eyes hurt. I certainly wouldn't want to waste my printer ink printing a hard copy of this.
