The moment the first NPC spoke I could tell you're a Banjo and Kazooie fan :P
But hot dang this is mighty slick man. Very enjoyable and feels very well polished. Plus the whole look and feel comes together very nicely.
I lost track of the objectives after being told to go west to the farm, and while it said "[press 0]" to show objectives I couldn't bring it back up or figure out how to go further west than the map seemed to allow. (Not playing post-jam version)
Ended up finding Hobo Santa up north though and had quite a lot of fun "making use" of the lil' gift on the ground there ;)
