I loved the trial scene; there were some plot twists I wasn't expecting but that make sense! This was fun.
Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed it. I hadn't expected some of the twists myself :)
*Spoilers *
Originally I was going to have one bad end and the ironic end, with the ironic end being the hero gets eaten by the dragon and the game closes on the townspeople fighting over who's gold pieces were whose. But the hero ended up growing so much during the trial, it just seemed a shame to do that and there was someone else who seemed to fit that fate better, so the Ironic End became the Good/True Ending.
I've had a really good time with this game! The humor is really clever, the 4th wall-breaking and parody of plenty of RPG tropes is very well done. It even has some social messages! It is quite heavy on text, but that's the nature of the game.
Pixel rt and music are fairly standard (good, but nothing special) but it really isn't the strong point here.
One minor issue: since there's quite a bit of text, getting rid of all the typos would make the overall experience even more enjoyable (just a few recurring examples: Gaurd instead of Guard, NCP instead of NPC, etc.)
All in all a really fun game to see to the end (approx. 30 mins)!
Thanks for taking the time to play. Am glad you enjoyed it. This was a game I worked on on and off over three years, though apparently I still didn't find all the typos :). Thank you so much for noticing. The ones you mentioned sound like the kind my eyes would jump over since they look close enough to the correct word and it's not like I type them on an everyday basis. Looks like it's definitely time to have another playthrough and watch spelling more closely.
