Why does he look like Pete Davidson. WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE PETE DAVIDSON.

Excellence: Played solidly and having the names near important items was a great touch.

Combat: Follow-up commands are fun to use and I'm glad you kept them from Day Dreams. Other than that, though, combat was fairly straightforward. Auto Battle is a cool idea for those not into encounters but I didn't use it personally.

Comedy: Not a lot to offer due to its serious tone, but the little Marvel ending was pretty funny.

Sound: Great custom music and SFX that match the effort put into the visuals. Walking sounds added a lot too. Some punchy effects when getting hit in battle would have been appreciated though.

Visuals: Unique and extremely well-done graphics that remind me a lot of Baldur's Gate. The RTP transition is a bit jarring and I wish the game had a custom font to round it all out, but I'm still giving this a 5.

Story: This concept would be at home in last year's Haroldverse jam for sure. Well done with a clear start, middle, and end, but I feel dialogue could have been spiffed up a tad.

Oops, I had to go back and check.  The Party menu with auto / options / escape was supposed to be disabled and not usable.  Bug! 

Someone else mentioned the sound in battles too.  Definitely something I have to work on for next year.

I knew the RTP map here was a big risk, but I still wanted to pay homage to the "real" Harold.  To me, going in isn't bad, but it always feels like slap in the face when you come back out.  One day I do want to revisit that realm and learn to actually make good puzzles.

It's weird, but because I've used PVG graphics since Ace, I immediately delete most of the database and assets as soon as I start any new project.  I never actually thought about Harold before last year's Jam.  So now Haroldverse is how I think of him and will probably connect to all of my future Harold Games.
Maybe next near I can rescue the remaining Daydream Harold from his dreary life.  Is he the Harold of Wisdom?  Hmm...

Thanks for the great feedback.
