Oh wow thank you so much!
I'm surprised the build actually worked, and i'm glad you liked it
Also, I greatly appreciate the extensive feedback
And you're right! the side quest goes nowhere... My whole plan for the game jam portion of the game was only half finished. I was testing out npc wandering and dialogue so I decided to leave that little guy in. He doesn't do much else, or even have a house yet haha.
If I manage to make the full game, there will definitely be a resolution to this side quest, along with many others and whole town to explore!
(...and more Zelda inspired puzzles!)
