Belle: Finally worked through to the 'good' ending...whew... I had too many saves with different choices at the later stage of the game and was using the wrong one so got the 'bad' ending several times.
After working through such a long Saga of a story with the twists and turns you gave it, I have to say, the End satisfies! Great build up and then to have to 'choose the right answers' to get through the last 'mine field' was quite ingenious. I never knew if I 'wuz gonna die after all' or not. (which, of course, I did!)
I guess the only thing I would offer for improvement was the amount of dialog during the last 'combat'/'contest' scene with the 'big black-n-Red' monster (great Image!!) was a little too long. You're like me, I tend to want to 'explain' everything or link it all in. Not probably necessary. You could probably cut 30-40% of the "thinking" the MC goes through and present the choices a little more directly...while still building up the tension with your allies suffering and your fate hanging in the balence.
But all in all, BRAVO! AUTHOR!! AUTHOR!! ENCORE!! ENCORE!! YEAH!! GREAT JOB BELLE!!
