The game is currently on sale on Steam. Curious what folks think of the game.

Where does it fall among modern throwback RPG's?

It is an extremely compelling rpg. Takes the stance of effectively starting you as the villain... but also gives you the responsibility of determining if you stay that way. It's relatively short but has a pretty wide branching narrative that leads to some wildly different outcomes. So this gives you a lot of replayability.

Really unique but i never finished it, didn't like the exp mechanics encouraging me to do strange things to minmax(i optimized the fun out of the game).

It's a lot of fun. You can chose quite a few different paths.

However it is the first part of a series that never continued. Sometimes be prepared for that.

Definitely worth a few bucks of fun.

I've only played a bit, but so far the combat feels relatively boring, the story is good, and there's a spell crafting mechanic that seems promising but has yet to deliver.

I don't have much nostalgia for CRPGs of past, just because of my age. But I thought it was a really good, though it was shorter than other CRPGs I've played. It does have a level of replayability though, more than just trying out different classes, your choices really do matter.

I think it's pretty worth it for $7.50.

I thought it was a fantastic game with a fun premise. Certainly a worthwhile buy on sale if you’re a fan of the genre.
