Great work, guys. I don't have an iPhone, but a lot of my friends do. I'll be sure to talk them into giving HoS a try

I love this game on my iPad. It's like having Baldurs Gate on my iPad.. Ignoring for the moment the fact that I do have Baldurs Gate on my iPad.. These are where turn based games shine: good old dungeon crawlers.

Sorry to hear about your lost time event. I was on a Jury for a civil lawsuit once that stole 6 weeks of my life.
