This was a really unique idea; it was interesting having to multitask like that! I especially like how many options there were to consider with the NPC, it made it a lot more challenging to figure out what to do, especially with the clues. It was fun figuring it out, though! The timer in the background was a nice addition as well, I like how you've added the little things like that. And the background sounds and sound effects in general worked well with the game, they helped make things clearer too! Nice work on this game, it was fun!
