Sweet game here. The art style is a big highlight of the game, it seems very carefully crafted and is consistent across the board. In terms of the gameplay, I really like the animal crossing style dialogue, and appreciate that each set of dialogue isn't very long, so it allows you to keep moving through the world without getting held up a bunch.
One thing I will say, although you mentioned not to use the cursor, I do feel like it is too big, and is something I think should be scaled down a bit if you end up fully implementing that system.
Overall, awesome work!
