I just bought the game, and was disappointed to see two errors before I had even made it through the intro cutscene:

-the line about letting a jinni out of it's bottle (rather than "its," the possessive)

-the line about the war not sparing neither the guilty nor the innocent (rather than "not sparing either")

The latter one I might cede to some apologetics to the effect of the narrator being a non-native English speaker, but that doesn't excuse the spelling/punctuation issue of the first.

I get that this is an indie game, but simple *text* ought to be the easiest thing to get right, compared to programming. I just paused the game at character creation to post this, but it makes it hard to be optimistic.

Well, honestly, a few things about the game threw me off at first, like how some of the early character portraits looked like paintings while others looked like photos.

Other than that, the game is a real gem! The writing, the details, the humor and just the over mood of the game made it up for me. Sure there are a few clunky translation bits here and there, but I think the game is an overall excellent value for the money.

This game really captures the old school isometric RPG feel. I haven't enjoyed the dialogue so much in an RPG game since Planescape:Torment.

The game is full of typos of that kind, so, just don't bother.
