Good story and world-building, frustrating presentation

The plot of this interactive "choose-your-own-adventure" novel is complex and intriguing. While the magic school setting is a little reminiscent of Harry Potter, the world-building is extremely inventive and detailed, which made for a very immersive experience. Theres also some very nice orginal artwork.

One issue is that there are points at which your character faces perilous situations, and can die (although you can be reborn, with a resultant statistics penalty), but the game doesnt give you adequate warning when these situations are coming, or what statistics are needed to pass them. I tried several times, first trying every choice presented in these scenes, then replaying the game to build different statistics. Unfortunately, I wasnt able to figure out how to get an outcome other than death, and so I had to start over and make choices to avoid these situations entirely.

Another drawback is that theres no "back button" to undo choices youve made. Theres only the option to restart from the beginning.
