I think the flat shaded room graphics are very strong. Also loved the music, though to me it feels more computer style than NES, culturally. Scrolling in the outside area is a bit choppy and disorienting (maybe looking at how the NES Maniac Mansion scrolls areas could help improving it). The tasks in the first part are a bit mundane (and I felt the sock sorting puzzle took too long), but I was getting intrigued by the second chapter, too bad it's unfinished. Might actually return when it's done!

Thanks! Yeah, I couldn’t quite replicate the scrolling used there, because when I moved in 8‑pixel steps it created a really ugly effect, with the character doing weird little jumps back and forth. So I went with slightly larger increments to make it feel cleaner, but honestly it still doesn’t fully convince me either.
