Y'know, I think this person hit the nail on the head. If that single
comment doesn't establish the entire feel of the game, with the Kurd'ah
and a crippled humanity, and what will become of the world if nothing
more is done, then I don't know what does. :)
I think the weak part of the title is in the word Lotus. Few people
will have a direct reaction to the word Lotus other than 'Ooh, a
flower,' or 'Gee, isn't that some Indo-Chinese religious symbol or
something?' Perhaps Grey Gaia, or Grey Earth, or Grey Soluma? (I had
to get a plug in there somehow....)
'till later....
