I am back again, hopefully for the last time, specifically to second this comment.

I don't want to write a review on this game you made beyond "5 Stars, accept the jank and go play it." but every day I spend in this damn game I want to talk about it and learn about it and pick the creators brain on the possibilities here.

These NPC's are plying me with ideas that I think are impossible in the game, but everytime we talk about a course of action my eye twitches in curiosity about whether these conversations actually grasp the limits of the world we're occupying and they're subtly leading me to discover new things, or if it's all impossible to do but just fun to talk about.

Hayden recommended I get a shield for slime fighting. I haven't seen a shield in the game yet, is that a thing?! Without a wiki to outline my limits here I'm just browsing and searching this game indefinitely. Which I love, but seriously, I have to put this down from time to time and when I do that I want in on a discord to learn more things the easy and selfish way the internet usually allows nowadays.

Rereading my words. I may be a bit much. Sorry about that.

A fun narrative beat I had with my game is suggesting and supporting that Hayden start selling coffee along with his fresh baked bread. He took to the idea, struggling with it over time, and now offers it to my protagonist when I drop by in the morning.

...Of course, the game can only do so much with that. Some times the game give me a 'tea' item, others it is a mug. Not a mug of coffee, mind, but a standard wooden mug with nothing in it along with the 'thunk' sound effect. It made me laugh. You'll get it right eventually, Hayden!

I am curious what weapon 'types' are in the game. Asking the npc's tends to make with mixed results. So far I've found a quarterstaff, swords, and what looks to be a flail (which Aldric assures me is a whip). And the bow, which I haven't tried out yet.

And if there is a way to wear any more jewelry/accessories beyond a single ring slot and the neck. Such as an anklet, belt, and such. But I agree, this game is one delicious and fantastic time sink, and well worth the purchase!

I do wonder if there's a way to streamline the drink process, since it gets brought up by NPCs so often beyond the current tea system. That way we could get a variety of drinks.

One thing I was wondering is if letters are a thing. It would be cool if you could send mail to NPCs that they receive in the morning, with an option to fill in who sent it however you like.

Hahaha. At one point I got a market 'letter' from Aldric (the same style telling the MC you sold X and got Y) telling me to meet him in the woods for a grand spooky adventure. The letter was so long it went past the paper art, and of course he can't go there, nor was the quest an actual thing, but it was neat to see all the same.

Another time he gave me this grand sales pitch about a silver warhammer with wolf inlays, forged by dwarves, etc. etc. Sold for a mighty sum, and of course the mighty weapon was NAMED warhammer. ...And it was a basic hammer, of course. It would seem I was not in fact worthy of Mjolnir this day.

Another thing I wouldn't mind seeing is the ability to rename an item, but that may mess with the system/be an exploit.

Huh, you got a letter from an NPC huh? I wonder how you reliable get them to send them to you...

It's only happened the one time, and I'm pretty sure I've been playing this thing off and on every day since nabbing it.

So I have absolutely no idea what the trigger was nor how to duplicate it. But darned if I won't keep goofing around and enjoying the ride.

That's actually kind of interesting. Never heard of an NPC delivering a letter. They can probably deliver an item with it like the gold you get from the market with your letter.

Try ordering something from Aldric and asking him to send it by mail to you or deliver to you with a letter.
