Yep, this one is going to please a lot of people, including me! since while I did think Samurai of Hyuga was getting a little too much on the "ooooh look how grim and dark we are!" it was an extremely fun game and definitely ended on a cliffhanger, indeed I'm not surprised tthat this is the same author as Fatehaven which I also really! enjoyed. Oh, and for anyone who's wondering, you can see the choiceofgames entry in the database, they're really awesome interactive gamebooks available on Ios and Android (look under choiceofgames and hosted games in the various ap stores), or directly online with your favourite web browser on the choiceofgames website, plus on Steam if people want the hassle, though myself I prefer playing them on my iphone.

iPhone or android is definitely the easiest.

Ahoy there,

Been looking forward to this since ages and I have no clue how I missed its release!
If the first game was any indication this should be fantastic, now only if apple introduces something other than  a creditcard as the bloody payment system!

I personally think browser versions are the easiest playability wise, since then you can access these anywhere, be it a android, IOS, or pc/mac

I've tried the browser versions on my Iphone, but I just don't find Safari that good with vo, even for comparatively decent websites like this one, which is why I prefer the stand alone program, plus the program always stops at the same point so you can put them down and come back later which you can't always do with the browser version.
