I love this idea of a mini open world. And it's been really well done here. The fact that you can accidentally run into a quest or item is cool -- e.g. finding the bandit camp in the woods. It makes it feel very open world-y despite the relatively small size.
My only complaints are that the first quest from the wizard says the hut is in the west, when it is, in fact, to the east; and that the game abruptly finishes when you return home, even though I still wanted to complete the other remaining quests.
Anyway, nicely done on this. I enjoyed it!
