Hey Nick,
Thanks for your feedback and encouragement. I agree with all your points! This one was slow going, and so isn't quite in the state I would have liked. But I learnt a lot getting it to where it is so that's great.
As for the theme, I was stuck on what to do for a while. Then I started thinking about idioms and phrases surrounding honesty and dishonesty, and this gave me loads of ideas for characters or abilities or boss fights. Maybe they'll make it into another project.
