Fall of Sarenta and Reviews

Posted by Castypher on Jan. 11, 2012, 11:04 p.m.

But first….

Like I said, I wasn't entering the contest, but I made something for it anyway. I put a lot of work into this little guy and now it stands as one of my "finished" games (though it could use a little touching up). As would any person who …
