This is really incredible! One of the most polished games of this jam by far! It's very impressive how you managed to write this whole story with multiple encounters (and some you can miss from what I've see), that is also affected by your equipment! Having a character creator of sorts at the start is insane! Really great job on the UI and pixel art, it all feels so well done and fits the aesthetic perfectly, even the mouse cursor having it's own sprite is awesome! Game was fairly simple but also fun which is exactly what you want from a jam game! I'm really taken away from how polished this is, I would not bat an eye if this was a full release game yet it's made for a jam. Just seriously great work!
