It took me a while to get passed the screen with the book at the beginning. I tried clicking on continue and pressing every button but nothing registered.
You should work on the background art and the animations for the cat. The smiling faces look quite creepy. The trees look too flat. The walking animation could use more frames.
The music is very good.
I got stuck for a while again at the gate in the 2nd level. It's hard to see because it's the same color as the tree trunks. The game doesn't tell you which key to press to switch characters. I know it says the "switch characters" key but you should tell which key on the keyboard it is. Also if you skip the dialog too fast you have no idea what to do and can't even go back to the main menu.
The game sounds very promising, looking forward to see you improve it.
