Whoa the pixel art is crazy! The mystery loop of finding out stuff is really satisfying to play around with, getting to know the character was cool to see!
Nice job with the input parsing too, the UI was setup nicely but I'd look out for fonts and interfaces, not sure if it looked ok on a mac but on my end the font had a weird background which made it a little hard to see? (Linux - Firefox) 
Otherwise gj for a first game! this is really impressive!
