I found this game very original, I like those type of game where you need to pay attention to details and fill/find the need of npc.
2 pain points though (that would have make the game excellent):
- As other ppl said, that's a lot of text. I directly felt overwhelmed which is sad. I know it can be difficult to ponder that.
- I would've liked better to pick the runes myself rather than stopping again and again the wheels. And maybe play around the glyphs and the player's memory.
By the way you seem to be a lot of Bardsleys!
