Mediocre All Around, Not Worth Completing

Look: 5/10 There were a couple good screens, but for the most part, very blah. Especially considering the content. Some of them were straight-up goofy :-p enter image description here

I mean, at least they made Poseidon pretty hot I guess heh , just silly all around enter image description here

Play: 7/10 The adventure in this is decently well-done, and the random encounters aren't super frustrating since there are clear solutions to them, instead of merely RNG-based instant deaths. The disc-flipping was annoying, especially considering how weak the graphics are... it's not like they should've needed all that space heh (tho I will admit the adventure itself is quite epic, even if random/tacky). Definitely some typos in here, heh, "wan't."

Feel: 6/10 Tho I got pretty far, the poor quality of the graphics and half-assed text made this otherwise fun, interesting, and playable adventure not worth continuing. After my third RNG-based frustration, I figured it wasn't worth trying again.

Attachment: 6/10 Perhaps worth a playtest for text adventure completionists, but otherwise definitely skippable.

Completion: A darn Harpy event threw me off soon before getting Pegasus Playtime: ~30 mins
