The art is beautiful - hence the half star. The dialogue is progressing so slowly that I wanted to skip as much as possible, I try to get every bit of information I can from games, regarding the lore, but this is a torment.
I suggest testing your games before you publish them, couple of grammar errors, but nothing relevant that a check couldn't fix.
Reviews for "The Sword and the Fox"
To quote SuperSapito before me, "To be a bad game it requires it to being a game". I'm sorry I wanted a game when I clicked on something labeled a game. What I got was some laggy text until i hate quit. Maybe it is a good story, I will never know. I wanted a game and got this.
Attention anyone: Please try not to vote/review before playing it on your machine, if it lags on NG.
All in all, this is not a bad game - To be a bad game, it requires being a game. This is more like a movie with choices, not even a VN since the lynchpin of VNs are multiple choices and their impact on the story.
That being said, this is a GOOD interactive movie from art/music and overall looks but it suffers from linearity. The only multiple choice in this demo (this is also another issue - if it's a demo it's good to give a heads up to the audience!) only gives a different dialogue - which is not revelant for progression, just a piece of lore.
A few typos and gramatical mistakes that can be easily corrected.
All in all, it has a great VN potential, as long as you put some effort on multiple choices.

Thank you. I do hope to correct these issues and expand on this story.
beautiful story love it just pleas give more choices i will still give 5 stars :)
Good story with a nice little tale to tell and a good ending too. Nice art and pleasant music too.
since this is linear with no choices really I think this probably would have been better suited in the Movies section perhaps.
Some minour issues. The text for some reason crawwwwwwls sloooooooly really sloooooowly when anyone talks. There are some transitions that could have used a little extra sentence like "you decide to explore while you have time" or "you head to the library at her advice." little things like that help with the sudden moves.
Great work and hope to see more of this.

Thank you. I may just get rid of the text sound for the VN version of this since it bogs the game down on browsers( that's javascript for you). Thank you for the feedback its greatly appreciated.
