Yeah, I was a little back and forth on walking through events, but ended up adding it because I thought it would add to the chill vibe if you could ignore everything if you really wanted to. I can definitely see how it can also be a bit annoying though. Maybe just make it take a bunch of steps to pass them? I don't know, sort of thinking aloud.
Anyway, thanks so much for taking the time to play and leave some feedback! Your comment about playing it like an action game makes me think that a similar idea could work with a more stressful game about soldiers marching, haha. Might be fun to explore.
