I started playing this game and was really enjoying it, the dice rolled mechanics and the storytelling in the interactivity was really cool so I purchased the message pack. I've been playing a single campaign for a while and started to get a really intricate story going, however there is many instances where the AI will forget you have an item in your inventory and when you try to address the DMV directly about it they will ignore it. For instance what made me come to the review section is my character companions are preparing to set sail to red Hook Cove. I will obtained the "sea serpents sloop" in my inventory but whenever I try to deploy it the harborman insists that I haven't purchased it yet. I tried to address the DMV directly which in the prior instances would usually iron things out but it just refuses to acknowledge my direct message, which ultimately cost me three of my limit to iron out. The inventory system definitely needs work it's impossible to remove unless you literally say you are removing them and then you gotta do a whole bunch of nonsense and use turns you pay for to clear items from your inventory. The game has a lot of potential but until they iron that stuff out it's kind of pointless investing time into a long campaign.

It’s… very much failing mechanically. It does try its best and is fairly consistent with character names and plot. Adheres to logic and pays attention to classes and stuff. However it also just flat out cheats. Refuses to knowledge you if you talk to it player to dm. It lies about damage rolls, the dice will randomly change numbers on it, advantage and disadvantage mean absolutely nothing, and mechanically it means nothing to do some acts. For example. My rouge was fighting a monster. I landed a crit with advantage and so my sneak attack was active. I should deal 2d6+4 even ignoring the crit. The game tells me I dealt 3 damage… which isn’t even possible. The enemy didn’t resist the damage either it just cheated. Then I was reduced to 1 hp. My party member healed me, and the number for health on my screen did not change. Then I disengaged and succeeded a hide bonus action. The enemy then proceeded to walk over to me and attack me, without getting any opportunity attacks from my allies, had no disadvantage despite me being hidden, and then hit me for 4… and I was still on one health. When I pointed this out to the dm it never responded and only loaded a message for about ten minutes or so before I closed the app. Mechanically the app is an absolute MESS, is not worth spending the $30 for the few months of getting more messages. And it’s slow at loading, just a side note annoying thing.

I was frankly blown away by this concept, the AI ability to loop back to plot points and remember aspects is top notch. On the other hand the game struggled to retain certain information regarding my inventory and spellbook. I learned spells through other means other than leveling up but the game doesn’t add them to the book or make them actually able to cast. My story essentially revolves around necromantic artifacts giving my character strength but the spells don’t work mostly. Very disappointing. Also the ai combat breaks when I add other followers to the fight which at an extent is understandable for these early development days. Finally I will also say that as much as I loved my experience I went through 300 texts in a single day so I will not be putting any more money into this game. 6$ a day is simply unacceptable. I very much hope the subscription will one day cover infinite play or at least increase the amount of texts into the thousands. Until then I cant support the game further. Well done to the studio this was an incredible experience
