This game is an interesting concept, but I couldn't figure out what exactly to do. When I got to the town, the game suggested talking to a Merchant, but I couldn't enter any of the buildings and eventually hit a dead end, no merchant to be found. I realized I was able to backtrack a bit and go north at one point - this took me to a mine, but it also ended in a dead end... The concept is cool, but I think the level design needs some work so it's more clear where we need to go or what we need to do.
Ohhhhh - I just saw the YouTube video on the page. Yeah, I did the same thing as the guy in the video, tried to go up directly in front of the door. Only difference is that I never tried going up one of the sides haha.
It makes sense now that I know, but at the time that dark spot looked like it was a ramp or pathway up to the porch, not a block that you had to walk around.
