Congratulations. The atmosphere was the strong point of the game (I
appreciated the listen/smell of every location), although I found the
master a little too unresponsive and just there "for" the PC (it could
have more dialogue about the philosophy, etc, not just
sitting--meditating--there waiting for the Right Objects --not a critic,
just something to improve on if you're thinking on doing so.)
Katana is a (much larger) game involving a similar take, though on Japanese.
Also, I'd like to know the source of the verses when you rest on the
mountain, if they are not original (if that's ok?).
Emiliano.
