Reviews for "The Children of Brinn"

Wonderful story as I'd expect of Hyptosis but it does feel like it's....lacking. It would be nice if it was longer, maybe had the text only for quest so you could travel around, decide where to go and which quests to take. The towns before checking out the quest there could also be where you lvl up. It was just so short to get a feel for the characters. A good RPG will make it so you can relate to at least one character and I wanted to but this was barely enough to really touch on who these people are.

It's lead me curious and wanting to know more about them. I do love it but I wish it could last longer and let me feel more in charge then 'Who are you going to send to do this'. Also are you suppose to be a member of the party or just....controlling them? Are you meant to be the warrior giving out orders or just telling who to make a move from the computer?

A good game, but the score seems to have nothing to do with how well you do.

For a game that didn't have much interactivity (no offence intended) I found Children of Brinn to be very enjoyable. I put credit into the fact in how well the story and the characters are written out, their back stories match their personalities and experience/knowledge. Although the areas that you had to traverse through had several different outcomes, I can't help but feel that it was short lived, the best ending you can get (where entire party survives) is insanely easy and quick to finish, where as the hardest, would be if the only the berserker joins the party, mostly based on the fact that you have much more options and chances to screw up.

While I do like the variety of choices you have, I feel that its redundant to have any choice you make end in a complete wipe out, only diffrence is how badly. While I do find it interesting, I think you should at least have a chance of digging yourself out of the grave you stepped into, just with some injury or a more negative ending, your time would also be much better spent on investing it on branching the story into more pathways then into a short branch where you just die in a different manner.

On a personal note

I did see what you were hoping to do with this, but never got around too for time and what not, considering that everyone had an inventory (but only 40% of the characters get 1 item if ever)

In the cave as well, considering how well the Beserker or Guardian paths are written out, it seemed like you had something major planned for the original party, but cut it out for some reason, compared to the other stories it just seemed really lacking, but considering this was just an experiment, I'm willing to let it slide in score.

I hope to see if you have any more adventures planned for the Children of Brinn in the future

Although you gave a warning beforehand the extensive text simply needs more drawings. I don't mind clicking a few times more often as long as reading is not all I do. Give me some graphical pointers like in The Sagittarian(s).
I think pointing to Steelcurse as a "similar game" is misleading. Apart from the universe it shares next to nothing with thsi game. That being said I still recommend playing both The Children of Brinn and Steelcurse. As similar games I'd rather have chosen the games from The Sagittarian series, plus they have awesome music.

A few typoes I encountered:
Tricklefoot
"the the"
thye
repsonds
"Oh you Brinners ain't so happy now are, ya?" - comma
frour
"hammer is wide arches"
"Simple minded"
"clear hs is"
Gaurdian
excalims
surpsied
"spirits ferocity"
"reaches next room"
"that one thing is, 'reinforced'" - comma
Gaven
"lets continue" - let's
"round up any remaining lizards and put to the blade" - +them
"lizard men"

Not sure about this next one. What is covered? If it's the crates blankets either hide the being or are irrelevant:
"One of them holds a being of some type. They're covered in a blanket though."

I really enjoy "choose your own adventure" games, so this one really hit the spot. The re-playability is good, especially with medals. Graphics and music wise, it does remind me of the earlier "Skunk Meat" game.

Speaking of music, what is the name of Halindir's looped song?
