thanks for the feedback! what you played is actually a few scenes from a much larger game that's planned.
making money isn't always a bad thing, it's more about how you treat people that is negative. characters will respond to you differently during conversations depending on how you speak with them -- this is how we show the consequences of your choices.
something the last scene, were ocean returned, was trying to show was that some decisions and interactions will have longer term consequences. how that scene plays out depends heavily on how your previous conversation went.
this is something that will be explored a lot more in the final version :)
