sure :) I'm a fan too! After I missed the news about it myself, I realized that I'd better subscribe to their twitter account so I wouldn't miss something again :)
What a good idea. I don’t know if they still do it, but they’ve made their Twitter into a choose your own adventure game through voting before, which was cool!
You know, that's exactly what I can say about A Highland Song, too! I think it's the first narrative game I have encountered in my life to which I can apply "rogue-like." And for me, it felt much more rouge-like than The Forever Labyrinth (probably because in the latter 'runs' are much shorter)
But I think it's not the case for everyone's playthrough, though: I saw a bunch of positive ~4-hour reviews when a person was perfectly satisfied with their only run from start to destination. But I don't know. For my first run, I couldn't finish it on time (you'd given a 1-week time limit at the start of the game). And worse, I felt rushed, and I hated it because of it. And also, because I didn't finish it on time, I didn't learn the full story (of course). But for the second run, instead of rushing again and trying to finish it on time, I decided to chill and explore to my heart's content. Even though I finished on time only on my 5th run, I think, for me, it was much more satisfying. Now I'm trying to 100% it and I'm still learning a bit of story here and there.
That's even without mentioning the adorable Scottish atmosphere.
Anyway, sorry for my rambling xD This game is my GOTY and I highly recommend it :)
No, thank you so much for your rambling! It's both helpful and interesting. I'll have to keep in mind not to rush when I play A Highland Song; I hate feeling like I've got a time limit as well, so it's good to know that the best way to play is to just ignore that expectation entirely.
