I turned this game on like a year and a half ago and never touched it again. If you do this and then awaken the king, he ends all life and casts everything into shadows, not that the shade had attatchment to anything if you never did anything. According to my friend from Spain, the game instead encourages you to discover the world and give more of a purpose to the shade so that it isn't wasting its life in waiting for the king to wake up.

But how does this message translate to the player when it's one of those idle games you need to come back at the game's pace to complete? The game wants you to make the life of the virtual character have more projects and meaning but as such it robs the player of their time to do something with their lives...

Yeah, that's what happened to me, since my schedule got tighter and my real life goals got more compelling, I even forgot to come back to this. I'm not saying it's a bad game since I haven't technically "played it" yet apart from leaving the game on standby for 400+ days, but before doing anything with it I want to make notice of the weird genre it chose to present its message.
