I can definitely see where you were going with this, unfortunate that you didn't have the time to finish it! I actually didn't manage to find any items whatsoever, but I did get to run around for a bit, find a weird child and a cool sleeping (?) automaton. Very nice scene transition animations too. I think perhaps a little bit of work could have gone into for example customizing the default Say dialog (also I can see there's a character sprite - why not use it as a portrait/stage portrait, so you can see them better?), but other than that it seems like an interesting use of Fungus. Nice work :)
