I feel like the scope of the story was too large for such a short jam. As a result, the writing feels rushed and inconsistent at times. I know how it's difficult to give some level of polish to even a tiny story, and it's a thin ice to tackle bigger plots. On top of that, implementing char stats, checks, and non-linear narratives... whew. You've done a gargantuan amount of work, and the skill behind all of it is apparent. Would be cool to see what you can do with a less ambitious scope in the future!
