It's entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. 6d5b4406ea Title: FatehavenGenre: Adventure, Indie, RPGDeveloper:Hosted GamesPublisher:Hosted GamesRelease Date: 8 Aug, 2014 Fatehaven Download] [portable Edition] Easily my favorite of the Hosted Games, probably my second favorite of everything COG has on Steam only after Choice of Robots. This author writes great characters and has an entertaining and easy to read writing style.In particular I like the author's use of the COG engine's stats system, it's probably the best I've seen in any of the games using the engine. Beginning choices are used to establish a personality, which after a certain point stops changing, and from that point on consistency in your choices is rewarded instead. The other thing I really like about this is that the stat checks are used to determine how some scenes play out. I really really like this method of using the stats as it rewards role-playing and adds flavor and replayability. This is the same system that is used in the author's \u201cSamurai of Hyuga\u201d series, but I feel like it put to much better use here.\tAs a side note, I thought the magic system was a really cool touch. After your \u201cpersonality\u201d is established, you are assigned a type of magic that fits that personality and that is what is used through the rest of the story. This also means that several scenes are significantly different and adds to replayability.Overall I VERY strongly recommend this one, it's the closest I've seen to a perfect COG style game.Though it is near perfection and I absolutely recommend this game, I do have a few small suggestions for the author.1) Please hire a professional editor. The weird autocorrected typos and malapropisms do not ruin the game by any means, but they can still be very distracting.2) The ending could have been forshadowed more. Again, very small complaint and doesn't ruin anything, but it is something that I personally thought could be improved.3) It would be nice to have more information about what a choice entails. In particular, I may not always understand or agree on the interpretation of a given choice, so added detail, and in particular making the consequences of a choice clear before the choice is made, would help a lot.. I have only read the story up to fifth chapter and I can already tell this will be well worth the money.The writing is witty and interesting, combat is well described and.. so far, I haven't skipped a word written, which is borderline a miracle considering I always skip segments when I read, even on " masterpiece" books and story games ( like planescape).I even had to stop reading for about minute when I couldn't stop lauhing at certain insult scene, something I don't remember doing due a written story for a long while.Only reason I write this review early ( just hour or so reading) is because someone labeled the ( so far) best written text\/story adventure book ( I have read) a negative review just because he didn't read the shop description and was dissapointed due lack of graphics.This interactive novel doesn't deserve that label, stuff like that hurts an author that has put out a genuinely fun to read story at ridiculously cheap price considering the amount of re-readability it has.Update : The story milds down bit in the end and there are lot less meaningful choises I had hoped, some events that can seem shocking ( start from beginning level shocking), are scripted and can't be avoided, which is bit dissapointing.Overal I still recommend it, worth the price.. Rescued an elf girl. Got sidetracked by her body.Learned magic was real by said elf girl.Got trained in magic by elf girl.Found elf girl was daughter of an lich. Would still tap elf girl.Best friend tried to kill elf girl. Punched best friend in face.Village massacred by paladins.Learned it was partially best friends fault.Choked out best friend while surrounded by an inferno.Spared best friends life.Killed an orc by shoving spear up her\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665Left husk of an village.Went to city.Became an mercanary.Found a CAT GIRL! Got sidetracked by CAT GIRL's body.Sidequest happens.Burned down a chapel while proclaiming god is the devil, and all paladins are demons, and floating in mid-air with cape fluttering dramatically.Took saved maiden to hotel.Maiden becomes an succubus.Chokes out bad-touch succubus. Try to bash succubus' head in with bed.Get stopped by CAT GIRL!.Get told to help royal family's adviser.Arrive at villa.Find out adviser is a weird blue skinned elf thing that also has magic. Also get sidetracked by her body.Engaged in MORTAL KOMBAT with demon lady. Killed her with her own magic.Leave to find elf girl and save the day.CAT GIRL and best friend from village join me.Both of them die in the tower.Get to top of tower and find final boss.Kill final boss by literally exploding his lungs from inside his body.Find out elf girl is behind everything.Find out real reason for everything.Meteor kills everyone.Get sent back in time to the beginning.Fix everything.Become the avatar.Destroy an invading army in 5 seconds.Tell King to stuff it.Find Cat Girl again.Seduce Cat Girl, and make her mine forever.Become an saint in death.10\/10 would become an pshychotic mass murdering-stalker again.. The best way to explain this little gem would be: The Closest to the Dragon Age (The good ones) saga you can see in text form.I won't lie. The amount of choices, the backstories and many of the events that happen in this game are the ones you could expect from a Bioware Game with little Bethesda touches. And the best part, is that it's good. Really good.Choices are abundant and every situation must be tackled obeying your strenghts.Even the realationships follow the same system that Bioware does.In short: it's amazing, and can entertain you for a looooooooooooooong time.That, if you like to read and know how to use your imagination.Well spent money..

Ten out of ten, ten out of ten, hundred out of hundred.Best game.B e s t g a m e.. 1.It's more like a novel with variations in the narration than a choice novel.2.It is very well written and the author style is his own choosing, I personally don't mind MC not having quote because his thinking actually melt with what he says... and you understand this at the end of the game, can't spoil you more.3.Well ok you don't make any choice and don't leave any real impact but the narration DOES vary upon your choices. Your character magic depends on your choice and even if the results are the same, the text IS NOT. People who don't like this style don't like it only because they care more for results than the actual path to result. It is still a CYOA wheter you want it or not, it's just that what changes is the way you appreciate the main story that is still the same. Those variations still add narratively and to the atmosphere too.4.I do find the humor funny here and am able to identify to the main character who's not a perfect icon of a hero, far from that (not the pervert side, but I actually don't think he's that of a pervert. Guys, just admit there's different level of perversity and here the thing is just intended for kiddy puns, really).5.I think a lot of reviews there are misunderstanding what was intended by the author and just don't like what he chose to do. Well, ok, but don't go criticize the thing compared to other CYOA. Because it is just a rare type of CYOA but it is still indeed one.6.The story is slow to start. But try to stick to the end. You could be surprised.7.Because it is more like a novel with variations, the secondary characters have more depth than in normal CYOA.8.I still enjoyed playing the games more than once to see how the writings changed. The result might be the same, but not the path taken.9. I do recommend it. It may not please everyone, because there are clear writing choices that have been made here. It is still interesting and worth a reading. Once you finished the story, try to... put the pieces together again, you'll understand many little details in the writings. I can only approve this.
