You are Umbra, a master thief who has robbed nobles of their riches in countless cities. The house of the Allegro family seemed like a worthwhile target, but after gaining access, you realize how wrong you were.
Why do the Allegros have a dungeon in the basement and why is everyone armed and on guard? You’ll be faced with a choice – get to the bottom of the family secret or save our own skin.
Play if you don’t like snobs and you want to give them their comeuppance. If you’ve always wanted to feel like Robin Hood and if you are not afraid of rats and perilous situations, this is right up your alley.
In this story, medieval fantasy meets hardcore mafia action. The story includes various role-playing elements. Sometimes the dice decide the success or failure of your action and you can choose various factions to align with.
Play when you’re in the mood for a round of role-playing, or when you are upset about the unfair distribution of wealth in the world and want to stick it to the man.
4.5 out of 5 stars (based on 8 reviews)
It was a well-written story. I liked how the beginning immediately pulls you into making decisions, which helps you step into the character very quickly. My favorite part was the ending. I only played it once, so I didn’t get to explore other outcomes, but it was so wholesome and genuinely made me happy.
A very well-written story, with great, immersive describtions, interesting characters and a setting, that keeps you on your toes. The decisions you make have clear consequences, making you think carefully about every one of them. I also really enjoyed the ending I got.
I’m glad I decided to play this story one more time, because my first try was pretty disappointing. The game ended abruptly and quickly, with no resolution, no uncovered secrets and nothing stolen. It didn’t deliver on the promise in the description. I wasn’t sure which choices led to this outcome, but it felt like this branch wasn’t finished or was cut short for whatever reason.
However, my second time was a blast, and if I hadn’t had that disappointing experience first, I would have given it 5 stars.
The writing is great, and so is the voice acting. The story is full of action and meaningful choices that (if you make the right ones, that is) lead you on an unexpected path. It’s also pretty long — it took me about half an hour to finish, while the first time was shorter than ten minutes.
There are interesting characters, a mysterious organization and a chance to help a young, hapless thief, but I don’t want to spoil too much.
Not sure why it’s listed as fantasy, I’d say it’s rather crime/action/adventure. If you like quite a lot of emotional tension and don’t mind violence, give it a try!
A great story for the type who just likes listening, making the occasional choice but rather wanting to enjoy the story. The high stakes kept me entertained throughout and I was very satisfied with the ending I achieved. However, the narrator could speak slower at times, sometimes it was hard to follow all the ongoings.
The story and its actionsequences are very well discribed and lively told by the speaker who does a great job. The choices have clear consequences, that really make you question if you made the right decision (not only from a moral standpoint but also a strategic one), causing high replay value. I got the bad ending and it really had me thinking, where I made the wrong turn that brought me down this path. Was it checking the door with the golden keyhole, helping the prissoner or how I talked to the widows?
