Thanks for comment, game tells you that you should go to mages castle couse your brother went there.
In the intro parents told you that your brother is in mages castle and after intro you have letter that they went to look for him.
Textboxes are automatic in intro to be sure that you'll read it and know what to do next.
Yea narrator face could be confusing but it's there for specific reason later in the game.
I didn't want to use sprites from web for this game and I can't really draw so thats why sprites are ugly.
Yea slimes are just obstacle, you dont really need to fight with them to complete the game.(You can use them to earn some money for potions)
