    Feels like playing a pc quality rpg on the iphone. Very well made.

    I'm using an iphone 7 plus ios 10.0.1. No problem.

    Font can be abit small especially when reading books/notes. But its easily solve by enabling the zoom function on the iphone. Set it to full screen zoom.

    Although i wish there is an option to move the character like a dpad instead of tapping everytime.

    Overall an excellent game. /thumbs up.

    Sooo I think I'm stuck on the main quest where you have to find the guy in the docks at night. I waited till nighttime and it showed two clickable doors, one queued up the quest line to let me in, the other was the typical one that doesn't let you in. Now I can't seem to get in after clicking the night time one once. Anyone have this problem? Any devs?

    Also is there a bank to store gear? More sacks?

    I've found one white sack so far. I haven't used it yet though.

    One thing is that 39 red apples take up as much inventory 1 green apple—or vice versa. So selling food that you have in low quantities is useful for freeing space.

    And to the fellow complaining about finding the bedroll: it's also in the * list, along with the sextant and some other tool when you get those. If you look for the hand icon. As you scroll it's easier to find. But I do think you should be able to quick slot it and silk get the exp bonus. Not sure why that's indifferent. Someone commented they got the bonus ton100%, but I've never seen it above 25%?!

    Yeah there's an abuse that can let you have 100% xp bonus, but I won't repeat it. Anyone else have an issue or is past that point in the story?

    If you love this there is a whole world of rpg's for you to play after this one all under the cRPG catagory. Newer ones like Pillars of Eternity and Divinity: Original Sin and the classics like Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment etc

    Hope they can port Divinity: Original Sin and Planescape: Torment.
    This game is really good! Just hope they add an option to increase font size in game

    That was me. I quickslotted it, no problem. Finding it first among 5 or 6 screen pages of trash items was the hard part ;)

    Did anyone try on an Air1 with iOS 10 yet? I'm on the latest 9.x still, and even after a memory cleanout and reboot, it now - exploring the forest outside the graveyard - keeps crashing on me, last one after playing for under 15 minutes. Rather annoying, and I don't have the patience for that anymore. Off to the backburner you go for now...

    But once those initial issues are sorted out, I'm confident we have a real high-quality gem here.

    Im playing on Air with iOS 10. No issues yet. Sessions of 45 min to an hour usually. No crashes. I'm lean on other games on my devices so lots of free ram. Just this Hearthstone and The Quest HD.

    Re crashes

    Update: It's loading a save that crashes the game for me. First load after gamestart always works. After that, when playing, it's about 50/50 if it loads just fine or crashes.

    @ashmike: thanks for the info, maybe I just got unlucky. Might upgrade to iOS 10 in a day or two, could make a difference.

    It may be the save itself has something in it that is causing the crash. I'll send you a PM to see if I can get your saves to try it out on my side.

    Thanks! Got it and replied already.
    One more detail that might be important for troubleshooting:
    Earlier today, the game always crashed directly after loading a game on gamestart, didn't matter which of the 5. I could see the environment for a split-second, then the screen went black for a second or two, and then it crashed. Had to do a reboot to make it work again.
    I'll check tomorrow if it produced crashlogs and will send you those as well.

    Going by your email address, your original venue Buskingsoft is no more?

    Hey any chance you could take a look at my problem with the main quest line a page back. The door isn't working for the thief quest on the docks. When I finally found the right door that queued up the quest (it being night time) there was also the other "daytime come back later" door, so after I clicked on the right one, the wrong one was there again. I think since I technically already clicked on the quest line door that should have let me in (but was impeded by another overlapping one) I'm screwed. Maybe? I've gone back exited, waited for every single minute of night time. Maybe I'm missing something?

    This is looking tremendous on my 6+ and especially good vid Apple TV. Defo game of the week. D-pad would be a nice to have but far from a show-stopper. So glad to see a new release not being tripped by the almost simultaneous release of iOS 10... this ought to be an iOS 10 showcase game if it isn't already!

    I think I'll pick this up when we can move with some virtual dpad. Playing on iPad would be annoying having to tap all over the screen. Even worse on the 12.9

    Stuck in the northern forest after beating the darkbringer's peons. Tried to go to the nearby door but the door is blocked by haybales. No clue what to do next. Please advise.
