I really like the idea for this game, but unfortunately I couldn't progress to the end (as mentioned by the other commenter, the rotten smell choice was broken). The concept is pretty interesting and having to choose between different options was great. Sometimes the result was a bit unclear, and I felt some of the decisions made should have been better reflected in the inventory, e.g, using the lizard tail should have changed the inventory to poisoned water, or filling the bottle should have changed the empty bottle to salt water. It would also have been nice if the dialogue was skippable, simply because I replayed quite a few times and sitting through the same text got a little boring. In terms of consistency I would have changed the dialogue continue button to using a mouse click instead of a spacebar, but that didn't make too much of a difference. A good submission overall though, well done!
