It’s good to be a part of the EVN community right now.
Between all of the new talent finding their footing through crowd-funding and the old guard stepping up their game, your favorite villainous reviewer has plenty to ease his appetite with in 2014. For those of you who remember my Most Anticipated EVN list, you know that three have already been delivered to my table: Asher by Sun Labyrinth, Icebound by Fastermind and Autumn’s Journey by Apple Cider. We’ll be addressing the first two in good time. Today, however, we’ll be discussing a title that has been eagerly anticipated by myself and others for over a year now.
Autumn’s Journey was originally announced for NaNoRenO 2013. Unfortunately, a good idea cannot be contained to such a short time period and what was originally a small feature that represented the first team up of artist Deji-Chan and writer KittyKatStarGal began to grow. After NaNoRenO passed, development of the game continued and the team grew into the coalition dubbed Apple Cider.
So a year has passed and now the tooth-rotting horror of Autumn’s Journey has been unleashed on the world! And while I enjoy the collection of young GRRMs this small corner of the Internet is supporting (looking at you Lore), no one ever died from the Power of Friendship…although apparently the Power of Love has laid waste to entire nations. With that said, let’s dive into Autumn’s Journey!
