listen to Lore boys
Wont play on Castbox, anyone else?
I held my tongue till the end, just because I wanted to hear everyone out. but MAN did you get it wrong. this might be the best adventure game ever made! I tried writing a million things here but nothing even scratched the surface of how incredibly wrong and just dumb this review makes to two that didn't like it sound. please play this game! easily game if the year 2019 and possibly game if the decade. if you don't love this game (like the two that didn't) you either spoiled the game by looking things up online or were just too close minded to actually open yourself up to being immersed in the game. side note: just by hearing what these people are saying, the 2 haters absolutely did not beat this game (Or at least not without just looking up what to do online). this review is just awful
