The whole vibe, old school aesthetic and art style is really cool and was the biggest selling point for me.
The controls however - manual typing commands - completely threw me off though. I understand it means to take the player to older times but for me it just stood in the way of a decent game specially in moment where the only option is to advance the text and I'm supposed to type "Continue".
I am aware there's a TAB mechanic for a more accessible navigation but even that is not very user friendly and it expects the user to hold the TAB key at all times which indicates to me the game is not meant to be played that way.
I think this shows promise to be a good "semi" text based RPG without having to rely on a console type of controls.
Nice work overall though!
