Interesting writing, though I feel that assassinating a king and chatting to a dragon was a done to death theme already.

I was very glad that I didn't have to kill the dragon, and being scolded by my familiar animal was a nice touch. I also appreciated the fact that I had learned about the order's uncomfy feelings about murder, which enhanced my sense of shame about the whole killing thing. Nice job.
Nice work. I enjoyed your writing style and humour. There were plenty of choices too that made me feel like I had control over the end result.
Cool story! Well written! I regret the assasination and I regret I had no chance to pay my debts :(

That was awell structured and very complete. The writing was punchy and often entertaining. The world building was good but not overbearing. You avoided the combinatorial explosion adeptly.
My one criticism is that it isn't explained to me until the end why I am supposed to kill the king. It is implied at points, but never outright stated. I don't like making decisions for a character who knows more than me about their situation.
Very good work!
and by the way: nuh nuh nuh nuh NUUUUUUUUUUH nahnuh. nuuuuuuuuh nahnuh.
Entertaining story. A couple of pieces of dialogue were a bit jarring. For example, how you use a piece of card to keep the door open. Otherwise an enjoyable interpretation of the theme.
Very fun! *Spoilers* I was very conflicted when it came time to either attempt to kill the king or go kill the dragon. That decision had so much weight it took me a while to decide. I think I made the correct decision as the king is dead now (not by my blade)! Awesome job on this! :-)
It might be me having a weakness for text based games,but I absolutly loved the writing.10/10 IGN
That was really enjoyable, and well worth playing through a few times.
very nice text game!!!
Fun stuff! I was absolutely enthralled!
Very nicely written story. Some of the things you do seem a little inconsequential, but you can only do so much in 2 days. Overall very good job!
Nice work! I liked the story and tried it twice. The first time I bought the bracelet, was a fox, and got the dragon to kill the king. The second time I got the shield, was a bear, and killed the dragon, becoming very wealthy. Too bad there is no voting category for story, would be 5/5.
I LOVED IT!!! GOOD GOD I LOVED IT!!! (i didn't kill the king, made the dragon fly away, and took the ring in the tavern)
Well written sir, really strung me along the whole way.
Enjoyed turning into a scorpion. :) Interesting adventure and the length of the game felt about right.
Very nice. Played several endings, with either bracelet or ring. Nice style and mood. And the inner conflict is a interesting twist. Good work!
