Really cute game, I would totally have given it a good rating if you didn't forget to submit xD
I will give you a review anyway. I love the narrative focus on the game, it kinda reminds me of the game Underhand in some way. The story really hooked me, i wanna keep digging to see what happens xD. Also I love the kinda smug face of the digger, specially when I'm choosing options that go against the despot.
A few things that could be improved: The dig button is in the same place where the option buttons appear, i haven't clicked anything by accident yet but looks like it could happen anytime. Also I'm not sure what the I and the K stand for, i know the A is for artifacts because I have spent some to appease a dragon and to make friends with the academy.
