This is really neat. I love the little animations such as when a door is locked, if I can't interact with something or his face turning red when pushing a crate - excellent. The atmosphere is great - lovely tiles and the music fits perfectly. Good battle and victory themes... Really like the battle system in general - it's not complicated and is visually clear (thank you, just a personal pref).
Yeah, this was decent. I'm going to keep playing. My only recommendation that comes to mind is pixel facesets to match the rest of the pixel aesthetic. Nice work!

Thank you for all the kind words, codapill :) So glad you appreciated the visual clarity of the battle system since this is always a goal of mine! Thankfully it can be achieved rather easily with the RPG Maker MZ and the help of certain plugins. The music is by Bert Cole whose work I absolutely adore! Should I ever manage to become a more skilled and time efficient pixel artist custom face graphics will become a top priority :)
