Hopefully it'll be better than the DS game which nails the atmosphere but is ridiculously hard for any character that isn't a heavily armored warrior.

And I beat most of the Might and Magic and Wizardry games, so I know hard.

It is literally the book with some automation for combat, dice rolling, etc. It even animates page flipping whenever you have to turn to a new paragraph.

Good:
-The art is all included, and even coloured!
-Combat and character sheet automation is pretty sweet.

Bad:
-Scrolling the page text can be laggy.
-Clicking the links to go to different paragraphs is hard, the hitzone is small and oddly shaped.
-No way to turn off the long dice rolling and page flipping animations. Cool the first few times but not after thast IMO.
