There were some solid stories in this, but it doesn't live up to the standard set by other Bravemule games. The structure has too much space to comfortably be filled by two writers, leaving stories (particularly Snow's) feeling repetitive and cheesy. The framing device, while kind of amusing the first time, became seriously annoying when going back to play through all the stories--particularly in the third playthrough where the player is forced to replay a story they've already seen. That said, Khaw's "The Necromancer's Blues" was an inventive use of the form, and Henderson's art was evocative throughout.
