Glad you enjoyed it!
That's fair.
A couple of wishlist of tweaks for polish week are going to be addressing a couple of those issues.
(A dialogue choice at the beginning so it's not one big back-and-forth, and swapping some event stuff, allowing the shovel to be picked up first time.) The castle bit was more down to me trying to fit two tasks onto one map, which was purely a deadline thing and something I'd like to change along the way.
What I'm most pleased about is you found it engaging, it's great to know that people think the core is solid, even if we could improve on some aspects. It helps us do better on the next go around.
Thank you!
