For even the very first sight, you can see that we are talking about a game, with a really original and touching design. You can see easily that it's an indie game, but in the good sense. Since I got hooked nowadays in isometric games, it was an immediate jump in, and I absolutely don't regret my decision! You notice after a very short time, that everything is fit in its own little place. I already see by the way that the grind will get just as boring as most of these type of games had, but somehow I always get hyped, when seeing the updates. However this community strongly, and I mean VERY STRONGLY desire that mature content. So in a long run, you cannot walk around it forever and must to deliver the wish. As there is one thing you can decide and choose, which is going on the all-in you get the full content, or you can walk the creative and cozy path by letting them get the content in a meaningful way. I mean that since my carrier I never seen a game accomplish the second one fully, where mature content is just an option which you can achieve. Developers either go in one or the another side of the horse, too easly achievable or impossibly hard to grind and mostly not worth it. But if somehow you can dodge this MASSIVE request and keep the fans love, I will be always interested how the gameplay will develop, since the whole system is just brilliantly invented. The way you mix the afk and interactive combat, where both of them have a strong impact, is like.. It looks like to me that you had a dream about making a game which makes sense in every corner, and you sit down, and made it with an extraordinary hard work, which really deserves much more and I mean even more attention! Keep up the good work, I never write personal reviews, but I respect this art-of-work! Just can recommend it! 7/10

Just can recommend it! 7/10 [b]Detailed:[/b] [table] [tr] [th]Graphics[/th] [th]Overall: ★★★★★ Book of Yog has a huge stand in original design. The first thing will get people attention the well made and cared artworks. Every line just radiating the love and passion of the developer, and even since this is not an insane high-end graphics game, you can see that the golden path has been found by compromissum and detailed effects. World looks somewhere stunning and characters are grabbing the attention of people.[/th] [/tr] [tr] [th]Gameplay:[/th] [th]Overall: ★★★★☆ Well this one can be a bit of boring for most of the audience, but there is a really well made balance between playing idle or getting interactive. Not many game try to satisfy both side, mostly you get one or the another. Also grind could be really hard in a long run which I dont know yet, didn't had thousands of hours playing it right now. But as what I could see, its fairly addictive and not unreasonably long yet.[/th] [/tr] [tr] [th]Story/Game Time:[/th] [th]Overall: - I heroicly admit, I didn't read. Sorry for my behaviour but after grinding out most of the RPG's, and reading so many books, I just dont enjoy reading stuff anymore, so I wont count it in my rating. Mostly because story became a common expectation for nowadays gaming, like if anyone would read. From experience I safely assume you 99% of people do not read it, even after having "Loremaster" like achivements. Having a unique story is a good to have but I think its absolutely not a requirement. Altough with an half-eye I did read some of the story fragments, and its certainly not bad, maybe a bit cliché, but it's ok.[/th] [/tr] [tr] [th]Audio:[/th] [th]Overall: ★★☆☆☆ This is the point why my review reach only 7 points out of 10. Audio is certainly part where this game can improve. I wouldn't say to make a strong deep dive into repairing only the audio, but as an always side-content it could use some work.[/th] [/tr] [tr] [th]Achivements/Studio:[/th] [th]Overall Satisfaction: - There are none sadly, but would see happily in the future. This is a hard challange to implement achivements which are both fun, satisfying to get and yet challanging. But I do believe in the developments, that it will work just fine![/th] [/tr] [tr] [th]Price:[/th] [th]Free.[/th] [/tr] 🕸🎃👻🧙‍♀️ Review Hallow's End Tide is here!
