I liked the art, music, and the story / dialogue. It would be pretty cool to either play as the other characters and/or team up with them.
The combat was a bit rough and it would have been useful to have some indication of dealing damage to the enemy and perhaps their remaining health as well. I think some explanation of the controls would have helped as well since it wasn't explained anywhere in game that you can hold shift to run.
I tried going down the left path first but just ended up at a dead end. Was there supposed to be some extra dialogue there?
