Had a blast with this.

I read tons of Choose Your Own Adventures as a kid, and would have loved to play D&D (or something similar) but didn't have anyone else interested in playing. These Game Books would have been perfect, but I only found out about there existence yesterday (I'm 32). Reading up on Game Books brought me to this site, and this story jumped out at me (love the CCR song), and the story didn't disappoint. Not sure how difficult this one rates to others, but I made it through first shot and had some good fun.

Was a great first experience with Game Books, and I'll definitely be looking for more!

Thanks!

Somebody once asked me whether I likened life to the game of chess. I considered it, then replied that in many ways, yes - but often the rules are bent, or ignored completely, they may apply to certain pieces, while others they don't. Some pieces are affected by the fate of other pieces. Some are related to others in the enemy camp. Finally, I concluded, I don't see life in black and white, but largely a grey area claimed by most pieces. Some black or white pieces have been grey at some point, while many pieces from either side will likely experience a grey period in their lives. I often consider the grey area of life where nothing is certain, where people determine their own fate, and often - rightly or wrongly - loyalty to the rules, a system, or a faction, bears a fickle value.

Like blackholes in the universe, eventually they shall consume it, and, as a phoenix, the universe shall be reborn. It's happened before. Out of the ashes.

Excellent story telling, but the combat system is hard to understand. I'm ashamed to say I never got what the dices results implied in terms of stamina loss...

Finally come back to this site after a year of college and manage to get through this game over a day. This was intense. It's much longer than most FFs, which makes it a challenge. Clearly there are some really complex relationships between your early decisions and the results later on. I managed to make off with the Happily Ever After and the Psychic Development challenges. Not bad if I do say so myself. Because this was an overall well developed gameplay, I don't feel the need to be upset about its length. Good battles. Plenty of good weaponry and goods to be picked up later. Overall awesome. 99/100.

@ Francisco,
Thanks! It was probably not my best effort but it was fun to write, and I reckon the concept was sound. I hoping there will be more to come from the Blight universe...
