Customer Reviews
Well done and shows a lot of promise
Suspenseful and well written, music was a nice touch, I look forward to the next one!
What the Phylot!?
I gotta say, I've enjoyed Matt Herzberg's work for a while now. "Capes vs Suits" is great, but what he is doing with "Phylot 31Favors" is even better. If you like fantasy, horror, RPG games, or even brain dead zombie wives then this is the story for you. I can't wait for the next chapter to be released. I want it now. Release it already!
p.s. The music haunts my dreams. I wish I could get it as a ring tone.
