I think that the skill of your character is way too low.

Links too small on iPad. Tapped the wrong link and died. So annoying that you can't go back.

Really interesting and entertaining, though I died A LOT trying different paths, it all was worth it in the end

I died to a dark metal gauntlet troll. Aside my untimely death, the story thus far is pretty good. I'll give it a second try soon.

I've died so many times by now. But I'm making progress.

Found a bug.

ROOM 209 - the Western Gate. I had only one gold piece left, and yet successfully bribed the guards with "three gold pieces" - nothing was taken from me.

I'm still searching for a safe way through the mountain. Haven't had much luck traversing the tundra, either.
Thanks for mentioning this, however I've had a look and it seems to work for me.

Blast from the past as I haven't played/read anything like this for 30 years! Really enjoyed it.

Great story! But holy moly, what the heck are you supposed to do with an enforced attack strength of 7? I can't get anywhere near it! But, I'm not done trying...

Great work.

Unlike most gamebooks where choices as simple as to look at something or enter a shop denies the player all the other options, A Shadow In The North allows you to check everything.

However, it falls a little short in content maybe, but that's like asking more of a short movie or book.

Anyway, this is an example of good gamebooks. Cheers.

Pretty cool. I really enjoyed the descriptions of the first town. Died pretty early. Time for round 2!

Pretty good game. The structure felt unusual for some reason. Battles and use of magic was good. There are still some spots I haven't investigated, so good job for that. The difficulty of guessing what you should buy was annoying, but expected. Little to critique.

There are 2 ways to get to Surlgrad - the high West way where you met the troll and get the crown from the dying King or the low Eastern way where the goblins are.
On reaching Surlgrad though Thrunvir asks which road you took - if you answer the Western road the mage says the goblins are there, if you say you took the Eastern road the mage says that's the one where the king is.
It looks like these dialog options are the wrong way round, the response to taking the Western road should be the one involving the caravan and the King and the response to taking the Eastern road should be the one involving the goblins.
Other than that it's a pretty good adventure and one I enjoyed.
Cheers

A great storyline and difficult quest. Took me many attempts to complete it but overall really good.
