Love the graphics and the overall mood. It’s like if Art Spiegelman drew an adaptation of 1984.
First time playing through, I did it fully obedient and after 20 days or so, gave up and tried to just light myself on fire. Getting what I deserve, for being such a tool! :D
There were a couple inconsequential bugs. Some sprites render in the wrong order, like the cocktail would usually render above the hero, even when the hero’s standing below it. And once, my load-the-furnace task marked complete when it only had 10/20 coals.
But what really kills me is the mouse requirement. It’s not being used for pointing, just being used as a button, so why not also allow the keyboard to trigger interactions? I strongly prefer to play games with a gamepad, and that’s no problem if everything is reachable from the keyboard, can take care of it on my end. But if the mouse is involved, I’m stuck. :(
