What I liked:

- You really nailed the classic Gameboy artstyle down to even the borders on the text box and the green filter. Although a lot of the art was simple pixel art, I enjoyed it quite a bit

- The game was easy to understand and my objectives were clear. I didn't need a tutorial and it would've just gotten in the way, that's hard to do!

- I enjoyed the story and the options presented. I thought it was fun and engaging although I agree with some of the other comments that there could've been more detail, tie-in, and variance in the story

What I thought could be improved:

- I think Barrie Lake really nailed a lot of the major problems but I also think it would've made a big difference if even though there's only one option, I would've liked to choose where I go at the start. For the first few minutes, it just felt like I was a passenger and not a player

- Since this game is basically in the Oregon Trail style, I'm gonna make a comparison. I really like that in OT, you can ask as many questions as you like and take as many actions as you want at each site. It makes me feel like the more invested I am in the game, the better I'll do and the more I'll get out of it. I think in general, I would've liked to have more agency in your game

Overall, fun game and the art was wonderful!
