The mixed reviews had me concerned but I actually really enjoyed this! It's definitely one of the better Gogii games, in fact, I think I might've liked it more than other AM games.

PROS:
> Beautiful visuals, especially the HOs! They were real images I think, but they went very nicely with the also near-real looking backgrounds! They aren't too skewed so they looked like they really belonged together with each other. The images were also fairly sharp to me, so honestly I'm just pleased with the overall visuals for the game!
> Spellcasting and brewing! A fun addition that I never expected from a HOG
> An interesting premise, I was curious how things would have turned out

CONS:
> Unappealing character models ): They were oddlooking or just plain unmemorable
> Lack of character---everyone was just very one dimensional and only existed to lead Lillian to the next location
> Lack of a journal and notes to recap and clarify the story (I feel like they replaced the journal feature with the spellbook)
> Major cliffhanger! Like others have said, it finishes off with a 'To Be Continued'
> Lack of mini-games! I suppose they considered the spells and brewing to be minigames but still... (Although I wouldn't want a repeat of that billiard ball minigame)

Overall, as a game, it was fun and it was pretty and polished looking but as a plot there could have been so much more done to it. It definitely has potential if the group ever chooses to continue the saga. As of current, I read the dev team has left Gogii. Apparently, this game originally was supposed to be a longer complete story but it was cut in half due to time restraints.
