This is a pretty big game, a bit too big to be honest. I liked your maps, and your story writing was interesting. There were a lot of typos though, especially the word 'friend' got misspelled nearly every time.
The dog blocks your way from time to time, which is quite annoying.
As for the battle system, I don't think you can die? During the second battle (the one with the first Shade) Harold reached 1 HP and remained that way through the entire fight.
The music was very lovely too.
I nearly stopped playing during the Church stage as I just couldn't find what to do and almost assumed there was a bug. In the end there was a table I hadn't interacted with yet and I could continue on.
However after inspecting the barrier and getting the message to go to the TBA or herbal shop, I was unable to continue as it is night and the shops aren't open. I don't really feel like this game needs a weather and day/night system. (I slept at the inn and continued forward)
I entered a house near the barrier and just ended up at the city map again.
I'm so used to the shift key being the dash key, I kept accidentally pressing it. A different key for this system would be better in my opinion.
Guard Terry repeated his 'You're crazy Harold' about seven times before I was finally able to move.
