Being honest this is not "my type" of game at all (but I'm going to try and not let that affect my rating); however it was still pretty fun to try and get the hang of it. I love all the old-fashioned dialogue and personalities, and the art and easy-to-navigate ui really helped the game not be annoying when it easily could have been. Instead it feels fair, if a little tough, and like rusnorful said below, finally getting through a successful run is quite satisfying.
Nice work overall!
