Thanks for the review and feedback! I was watching your stream while u played it.
I suck at art which is why the pixel art and houses were a lil irregular.
Regarding the pickup text, I forgot to make the pickup texts appear only after the quest starts, making them visible for all items. Meanwhile the sword, was the only item for which pickup text is enabled after the quest starts , which was the reason it became hard for you to find. (P.S - The sword cud be found to the left side of the garden after feeding all the chickens).
That bug with the chicken quest not starting is definitely weird tho 🤔.
Also good suggestion on the newspaper stories. Might upload a bugfix ticket.
