Runt of the Litter

A brief choice-of game that gives you a peek into the life of a thrall who rescues a tiny griffin. I was a little disappointed that I reached the end so soon. It was a very enjoyable read but there were several details, choices, and scenes that it would have been nice to see fleshed out more. I'd still recommend giving it a try, but maybe wait until it's on sale!

I love the idea of playing around with an interactive story. It's a good tale, but I'm an avid reader and the story was too simple for me. Then again, it felt more like the game was tailored to a young audience, and considering the amount of work it takes to do this, Runt of the Litter is well done.

Un "bon" Choices of Game, mais sans plus . L'écriture ne casse pas trois pattes à un canard, l'histoire se laisse lire sans grand rebondissement ou autre, bref, un jeu que je recommande car il n'est pas mauvais, mais n'est pas bon non plus . 3 points négatif qui me viennent immédiatement en tête sont : - Les choix, ils ne sont, pour débuté, pas nombreux, et, de (trop) nombreuses fois me suis je retrouvé face à une situtation ou absolument aucun des choix ne m'allait, comme, No Spoil, le choix final si vous survivez jusque là. - La temporalité/narration , le jeu se déroule sur une longue periode, problème, nous ne le sentons absolument pas passé, pour preuve, je ne saurais dire en combien de mois/années l'histoire se termine, d'une page à l'autre, 2, 4 voir même 6 mois ou plus se déroule sans que l'on ne s'en rende compte. - La duré de vie, environ 3 heures et demi pour en voir la fin, comparé à d'autre Choices of Game, cela en reste ridicule. Malgrès tout, je le recommande à bas prix, il n'en reste pas moin une " bonne " expérience .

Alright, let's get reviewing: Runt of the Litter is a pretty entertaining piece of work. It's a bit too short for my liking, however it's a pretty enjoyable experience. This game main point is in the fact that you raise a "Runt" in the game and you can customize the breed. Depending on your personal view and choices you might come to care for the "Runt" (Or not), though personally I become maybe a bit too attach when I got too absorbed in the game, imagining me as the main character taking care of the "Runt", though not as deep as the relationship between you and the robot in 'Choice of Robot'. The plotline is not bad and its actually branches off quite well. Character interaction is pretty good and they have personality (Thank god) that actually affected how they see your actions. Though their role is pretty limited the game, you can make one romantic/friend interest to be involved more. Nothing really special there but it's something. The bad thing about this game is that it's a bit too short for my liking. And depending on yourself and choices you may not even care about the "Runt" you are taking care of. Aside from the romantic/friend interest the rest of your friends have so little role it's almost a little sad. Out of 1 to 10 scale of 1 being so horrible it doesn't work and 10 being so perfect you really REALLY needs to get it, I'll give it a 7/10 as "Enjoyable to play" or "Not bad".

Right of the bat,this is the first CYOA game i've ever played, and I LOVED IT! The concept was great, the story made me feel as if my gryphon was my pet, and what not. The one thing I had a little trouble grassping was the "ranking" system. Were keepers valued highly in this society? Were thralls the lowest of the low? What sparked the war? I have plenty of unanswered questions, and this story felt WAY to short. I also didn't feel that much of a bond between any of the side characters. If I were to give a tip(even tho it may not prove to be of use), it'd be to make the story longer, and give the characters more personality. Also, I think a visual to go along with this story, would make it 10x better. Wether that be pictures, or an animation, is up to the author. I'd give this game a 8/10 for my first CYOA game ever, and will follow for upcoming games.

It's definitely one of the beeter choice of games in a while. One of the things it does well is giving you a good sense of the world your in from the very beginning without being lazy and just using a few pages for exposition at the start. The other thing it does well in the gryphon its self doing a fairly good job making it fell like an actual animal which you would hope going into this. Finally for positives is that the supporting character are well written giving you a good sense of who they are though it is easy to skip over them without meaning to if you focus on your gryphon which i did As for cons there aren't too many and they tend to not to be two bad. The first is probably the most jaring is the end without going into spoilers its rather abrupt it ends right when it feels like it should be getting into the meat of it but the journey up to that pont is still worth it. Finally this one isnt to bad and that is the stats as can be kind of unclear what choices increase what stats particular with the griffon but its not to bad and once you figure it out its fine but it can kind of screw you on your first playthrough this might have just been a me problem (Sorry if its not the best review it is my first)
