Yay I finally managed to start to work.

The visuals and the arts definitely brings to mind Undertale immediately. The mechanics are also quite creative.

This may also be a small thing but I think it's important to point out for a game with a lot of texts like yours. For some reason, if I press Space after I click a dialogue choice, but before the line of text finishes displaying, I could skip it, but just for that line. No other lines can be skipped. This is mostly fine for such a small game.

However, I think the ability to finishes text scrolling immediately and being able to skip them (especially if you expect players to re-reading a large chunk of them often) is a very crucial option for a narrative based game, so I hope you would implement it fully in the future.

Dilly Dally  is really fun to talk to, fun entry!

You're right dilly dally, I sure was distracted by the looking up of anwsers on my other screen! Nice undertale inspired ( i assume ) game. Very fun.

I adore games I can learn things from, and Dilly Dally is such a charming little guy! :) I really thought that after the quiz that would be it, very pleasantly surprised! Well done on your first game jam submission

Nice little story game, pretty neat! Looks great but the dialogue appears a little slow.
