"We are not forest cultists, you piece of sh-"
The funniest line and I almost missed it.
Really cool to see the beginnings of a JRPG. I think the setup is quite intriguing, and it leaves me curious about the world and how it works. I also think protecting a wagon is a great way to kick things off! Gives an excuse for action while carving out a clear-cut goal.
There are some things I'd probably reconsider - the letter "J" in the font you used looks a lot like a 1, or even an I, so it took me a bit to proceed from the main menu (I'd just make multiple keys work, or at least Enter).
Doors in the middle of an interior space look...a bit odd. And the collision seemed a bit hazy.
But beyond that, you had me wanting to see what happened next! Well done.
