Prison of the Magi: Chapter 0
Genre: First-person adventure
Bundle: Palestinian Aid
Rating: 🗝🗝½. I finished it, but it was hard not to?
You know what you're getting into with something titled "Chapter 0" and "More chapters to come!" in the teaser line: a short preview of some larger project the dev has cooking. Only time will tell if it's vaporware, Chapter 0 being the only chapter to see the light of day, or if the great opus will play true!
Prison of the Magi is as brief as expected, and ... mildly interesting? You navigate a simple maze all in grayscale, read a couple of cryptic messages from whatever captor plunked you in there, and collect occult objects. There's hints of some sort of spellcraft system with the objects, but they don't appear to do anything yet--there's not even an inventory screen, much less an interface for invoking the items' powers. The text needs a copy editing pass to clean up typos. I guess that's all there is to say?
This is basically a five-minute interactive trailer. Maybe the whole thing will be good! But it's hard to tell from this. We'll have to wait and see!
