I've read the overview: Sounds interesting. I will play this tomorrow as it is a bit late here.
Bland combat but this is overwhelmed by the story and maps. AND it is better than the other end of the scale where folks drop 6 waves of hard bodies on you, so..
Story was new and well told. I do not nit pic dialogue as a rule unless it leaps out at you. Nothing here noted during my admittedly fast read through. Good story and was interesting.
Mapping was excellent. Everyplace looked new and different. This is one of my goals usually, make even the places people have seen 100 times look like somewhere new and interesting. Great job there.
Lighting was nicely done, and the day glow Flesh Eaters were interesting.
Also enjoyed your thicket. Some problems with it but these are the graphics we have to use and I like the way you used them to make a wall free maze.
Great job overall and thanks for sharing your hard work with us.

EDIT: Played and reviewed it.
Quite liked it! Nice environments and good story.
The outside area before the cave is a bit frustrating because of collision - invisible walls?
I noticed a few minor text errors here and there. Ex: childrens, thiers, peices, etc.
Great job! I look forward to more quests from you.
I'm improving my quest on an almost daily basis - so if you come back to it after a week or so, it won't be quite the same!
However, there is a lot to love so while wavering between 3 stars or 4, I finally decided upon the latter as not only have you made a lot of effort with this quest, you provided a pretty unique experience for the player and I wanted to acknowledge that.
Stuff I loved:
Your maps were wonderfully lit, coloured and populated and achieved the fairy tale ambience to perfection.
I had a love/hate relationship with the thicket; on the one hand I loved that I physically felt caught on brambles, on the other it was quite frustrating to see the cave entrance within touching distance and have to fight so hard to reach it. On balance, the brambles win for me, but it's possible you could lose players if they think the map is broken at that point. (I see you have addressed this issue yourself in an earlier post. Didn't spot it till now).
It's always nice to encounter 'unigue' NPCs and your witch and Gorrot were both stunning. Good job.
Hope you keep polishing this and will look forward to seeing more from you
Thanks for your efforts and productive insight. I will take your suggestions, especially some of the dialogue "quirks". I wanted to create a very simple fairytale that focuses on story and atmosphere vs. mindless slayings. On the same token, I did not want it bogged down by dialogue so that people would get bored. I have three reviews so far-- I need two more to be seen? Is that how it works? If someone knows, please let me know..
