I absolutely agree. This was quite literally a two day project, and I plan to go back and expand on the story as soon as we are allowed to following the game jam.
That scene in particular was a last minute addition to the story, and was not implemented well. I literally wrote the story, start to finish, in about 8 hours, coding it as I went.
The entire time dragon aspect wasn't even thought of until I got to the MC's death scene; I had already written him into the story as the doctor, so it was a quick edit, and not well thought out.
