I'm sorry, I wanted to like this game, but the gesture recognizer just got in the way of everything. I couldn't even get out of the first room before I gave up.
It's an interesting idea, that needs a good gesture recognizer, and the ability to just draw on the whole screen instead of the too-small box in the bottom corner. It might also help if there was any feedback whatsoever (Insert symbol for "You must stand near the chest to open it; I'm not going to autowalk you over there, player" here).
I'd suggest, since I can only input one gesture at a time anyway, that the recognizer could display the input I put in immediately after I let up instead of waiting until I submit; that way I can confirm it recognized my squiggles as the input I wanted before I submit it, so I don't mess up the command combo and have to struggle with the interact gesture again. And/Or allow most verbs to interact with the current noun (ie, the thing I'm already standing in front of and have to stand in front of to do anything with anyway).
