| Scrumptious's Thoughts: |
(Read with the aid of Google Translate.) How can there be five full adventures in a 115-page book? By making the stories very linear. There are still plenty of choices, but most have one option that advances the story while the other leads to an abrupt ending, usually negative. Two of the stories have a secondary branch, but once your plot is set, your sole job is to avoid all of the bad endings. Only a few stories involve dealing with your clients, enforcing rules, and keeping everyone safe. These stories are the most grounded, but they're also on the boring side. The optimal outcome is merely to avoid trouble and have a successful trip. Several other stories feature gangs of armed criminals. One even has you abandoning your clients out of the blue in order to have your own adventure. Like other works by this author, this book is heavy on choices but light on descriptions. The stories aren't very satisfying and the few favorable endings feel cheap due to the poor writing quality. Not much to recommend here. |
