Your writing was absolutely hilarious. I laughed audibly in front of my family when I read "that's not you though, cry about it.", and also the self-aware lines about sprites and questions from players had me rolling, lmao. Nicely done
My only issue was how long it took to get to gameplay--if you chose to continue this in the future, I think making spacebar to skip to the next dialog option or a hold-space to skip-all-in-current-scene could be helpful. That being said, I still really liked that you had the player walk up to the NPC and the setup, so either way!
