Amusing story, as always! As for the game mechanics, well, I'm a sucker for this game engine xd Definitely want to see more of it, and more of that cool artwork of yours!
How about I point something out?
- Didn't get the softlock with Faustus, but the Sickgu did haunt me. Does this mean, it's intended for the Sickgu to attack me every time I enter a certain area? If so, you may want to add some conversation, that would show the main characters acknowledging it.
- Don't forget to fix these tilemap issues, like passable walls in Nagshead!
- Also, keep that in game journal updated, so that it shows the current objective.
