Thanks for checking it out and posting your gameplay!
Chester is a man of few words, there are probably some refinements I need to do with his dialog, since some of them are blank, and some of them have punctuation marks, so I can see how you would think that. You're not the first to mention it!
It's a little awkward due to the nature of jamming a point and click into a GBC game, but I tried to give some QoL options to make it less painful!
There is an option for faster movement if you press the select button (shift on keyboard controls), and then press up or down. That will highlight the arrow icons and from there you can press left or right to highlight a movement arrow and select it. (Select can also be used to quickly highlight actions as well, so you don't have to move the cursor down all the time. The cursor remains where you left it as you select an action this way, saving a lot of time.) The "instructions" on the page may be a little too vague, as I don't really point this out!
And for the lighter... it can be easy to miss! That is a common confusion point that I'll be looking into.
