Thanks for playing and the feedback.
We are not planning to allow free movement around the world in this game, as that would require a lot more content, and thus time to implement. We do enjoy classic JRPGs with a huge world to explore, but we are a small team and for our first big game realized that would be too much. We are planning to add a bit more to exploring the towns, including some automated ability to move around them, and a world map to see more places and learn about them. We may incorporate some optional paths where you can choose which way to go, or go off on a side path for a quest, but they will still use the current movement system.
I took a quick look at your game page. While we normally play and comment on every game that plays ours, we are very strongly opposed to the use of Generative AI, and yours lists that it uses AI.
