This game... It is certainly something. While it is just a demo so far, it leads with the tone of the setting [i]hard[/i], and it does it so well. You are someone looking for the Dark Egg, as it can grant any wish. I don't know what wish we want to have granted yet, but my goodness, this game is fantastic so far. Beautifully written text descriptions, combat that is genuinely interesting and well made, and lore that will send shivers up your spine!I highly recommend, and hope you give it a try, as it is a free demo!
I LOVE what the team has done so far and i'm so excited to see whats to come! Its so charming and the mechanics are AMAZING!! The puzzles are cool and the story is compelling! It really reminds me of DND and the layout is very easy to grasp! Great work guys!!

the best free game ever.
i think it's a cool concept. as soon as i got to the "WIP" area i just quit as i wasn't feeling immersed anymore. i would like to continue the story without the unfinished parts. and maybe progressing through that incomplete area would make me understand the previous locations more. but i'll wait for the full release to confirm that. thumbs up because i want to see more of this
不擅长英语也硬着头皮玩下去了 这么好的游戏就这么断掉了
The Dark Egg had the potential to be a game I would really enjoy. I like narrative games and RPGs, I do not mind reading a lot of text and immersing myself into a surreal world. However, this demo has not left me with a lot of desire to play the full game for a number of reasons. First of all, graphically, the design is quite a challenge to enjoy. I do not mind pixel graphics and e.g. Roadwarden has shown that a narrative pixel art game can be beautiful and excellent in many ways. The Dark Egg, however, is mostly gray and boring to look at. The atmosphere conveyed in the text is betrayed by the simplistic graphics, which makes the former harder to enjoy. Both combat and dialogue mechanics are fine, but feel a bit lacking. I cannot really describe it other than I did not have any problem with either, but also never felt like they particularly improved the gameplay. Another problem, for me at least, was that I seemingly lost track of the story and what I was supposed to do after an hour or so. Yeah, sure, get the Dark Egg. But the game has so much more stuff to offer, but there is little that helps you keep track of what you can do, what you have done already or where progress could still be made. Instead, after picking up a new item, you could theoretically backtrack to several locations and see if there is something new to be done, but that's not really enticing enough for me. The aforementioned Roadwarden always gave you a quest of direction to follow up, multiple of those in fact, and where to pick up where you left off. As far as I can see, The Dark Egg leaves you alone in the gray world, either to get lost or make progress based on your ability to memorize or note down what to do. Maybe if I was in a more exploratory mood, I could enjoy this, but presently I just lost interest after a white light took my character and the game just ended. I will give it a thumbs down, because I do not feel like I got enjoyment out of the 2 hours I played, but I will say that I would recommend anyone interested to still give the demo a try. It is a demo (and thus free), after all, and your enjoyment may exceed mine a lot.
Frothing at the mouth waiting for any updates on this game. The demo was so so good! I absolutely loved playing it. It was fun, interesting story, fresh new take on the genre. Cannot wait for this!
The egg is dark
Un TextBased RPG con un magnífico olor retro, interesante historia, combates y "personajes". Da gusto explorar todas las zonas resolviendo los puzles y desentrañando los misterios de un pueblo en la búsqueda del "Dark Egg". Muy recomendado si te van esta clase de historias rpg. El estilo gráfico retro le sienta de maravilla.
