This is a cool game with a cool story, but I have some critiques:
- The movement is painfully slow since you can only move one square at a time. Combine that with slow dialogue, and the game feels extremely tedious
- Using pixel art is great, but different assets have different pixel sizes and look incoherent
- Never expect your player to remember something on their own. When the old man gave those instructions, I remembered everything up to playing the piano notes, but then I forgot where the gate was. And I did not want to search for the gate since movement was so slow.
Besides those critiques though, it's cool!
