The Dead End Reviews

The Story of each character and design

Its an intentionally hard game, it has really poorly designed mazes that are meant to waste your time and hunger/thirst meters, you avoid 90% of traps but risk missing content/weapons that could help just on the off chance its booby trapped. I feel like continuing to play isn't worth it considering how much time I have to sink into just grinding levels, and if mismanage my limited inventory or my thirst or hunger, its over. There's also what appears to be a hidden time limit, to find a holy maiden lost within the dungeon, that if adventurers take too long she might not be the same or dead. It'd be a cool concept except you have to waste literal days to save fallen adventurers that give you items in return but bring you back to the start of the entire dungeon, not the floor. The way I'd fix this, is the return scrolls can be activated by anyone and sat down like a timer, and anything within can be teleported into town. I would also have hints towards where the bonfires are located so I'm not wasting time in dungeons trying to find the convoluted way into the room just so I can save and return full health. The art is only for the women, and it's bare minimum (same face, different eye and hair color), the sexual content within is dubious at best, and morally questionable by Steam at worst. The act of saving people should have more rewards if you remain pure, rather than the only reason for there being rescues in the first place is for the illusion of a moral dilemma. I probably won't return to play this unless I want to cheat, but even then the only reason to go back is to see the content that I'm not obligated to witness.
