    Really cool atmospheric mystery. I loved the writing and worldbuilding and got lost in it easily. Highly recommend MOKM, especially at $10 cad. loved it, really hoping the dev adds more content/stories to the game, or continues it as a series. really liked playing as the apprentice

    While I enjoyed the writing and story of this game, I can't quite get past the gameplay quality for a full recommendation. I would honestly love this story and world in book form! But in game form I unfortunately felt like it was lacking. Video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34J8JEm6EbE
