  • Just a great game! System requirements are very low, there is support for different interface languages, as well as a cool feature with a "common chest" - for example, have you completed the game a couple of times? No problem - you can put items in a common chest for another character and start the passage somehow differently. In general, a great game!
  • The last updated file (2018-12-12) was alarmed by Win10 Defender as two trojans. But forced scan was see nothing. Also Gmail do not allow you add flare.exe to letter because it think it was virused.
