Such contract will put him in a dangerou road with no turning back.

Chalgyr has reviewed the RPGmaker game Thorne - Death Merchants:

Thorne: Death Merchants is one of those titles that can take you a bit by surprise. Set with darker tones, this is a title that breaks out of the standard RPG Maker mold by being an Action Adventure title above all else with real time combat. Put into the role of Thorne, also known as “The Crow”, it’s high time to find out exactly why you are sitting there chained to a damp and dark cell.

[...]

Overall Thorne: Death Merchants is a great title but it is also a very short one. Using the RPG Maker to make an Action Adventure title was refreshing and with excellent writing both vulgar and not, I honestly hope to see either another entry or extension to this portion as events felt as if they were just getting started when they actually finished.

Score: 7/10
