I just finished “Knights of San Francisco” after stumbling over it somewhere on youtube. I haven’t played such a refreshingly different title since “Disco Elysium”, although I have to admit that Knights is much shorter and therefore just cannot go that deep in teems of storytelling. What I loved most was the world building: Using the Transamerica Pyramid as the skeleton and fleshing out a post-apocalyptic fantasy world around it worked so well for me and got me hooked from the start. I also enjoyed the text based mechanics that cleverly abstract from the stats and number crunching in the background.

This is a wonderful take on the text based rpg. Very reminiscent of long ago (80s) games like Forbidden Lands with great updates such as engaging graphics, accessible controls, and great music. I would recommend to anyone looking for a choose-your-own-adventure type game. My only gripe is that there is no sequel, since the game takes at most a few hours to complete.

Pacing. Setting. Story. Concept. Characters. Dialog. Difficulty. All of it was spot on.

Flawless. Mesmerizing.

Nice little game here. Runs really smooth and has great art. A bit linear for being an rpg and the game is more or less trivially easy. With that said it’s still a fun and charming experience that u would recommend Not sure the point of the sanity mechanic though - seems to be no way to replenish it and no consequences from it. I went back to the trader a few times to see if I could barter for some items but that didn’t appear to be an option here. Would get a lot of joy out of playing a bigger more difficult game built with the same type of system.

Please make h TV is game longer or add extensions I love it

Wow, the only negative I have to say about this game is that it’s not longer! This is a very unique story driven experience. It gives you enough choices where you actually have to think about what you’re doing, but not too much that it detracts from the story and breaks the immersion. I definitely recommend it!

Not that long but an interesting concept and fun. Well worth the price.

This is a well-crafted and unfortunately short game. And while there are RPG-like decisions which can be made, I do not feel like they carried much weight in the game world. I do not know how much more I will get from more play-through I would certainly be interested in a sequel with hopefully more story, world-building, and far-branching consequences of choices.

A game feels most exciting to me in the time before I start to understand how it works. In those early minutes, I am making decisions based on what my character would actually do in the situation, not min/maxing stats and numbers. With its language-based approach, this game never let me see the numbers behind the curtain, and this kept me on my toes from start to finish. It reminded me of the depth of a game like Dwarf Fortress with its anatomy system. I was forced to put myself in the shoe (singular, my character was missing a foot) of the protagonist and think in the context of the fantasy future setting. The game was polished and flaws were minor. I would have liked to hear more from my recruited party members for one. It felt easy since I finished without dying and with lots of food, but maybe that's the luck of the number generator. I'm unsure if I've missed many hidden parts of the game or if I've seen everything. I beat the game feeling like I still wanted more combat, exploration, and dialog. I would buy a sequel or continuation with the same engine in a heartbeat.
