I thought it was a really neat game! I did feel that the energy system was a little too restrictive for a game that's about story/narrative, but I still enjoyed it. One little bug I found was that you can continuously hit spacebar to gain the contents of the chest as many times as you want. The graphics were charming and the sound, although sometimes a little loud, really helped sell the retro vibe.

FYI, the post-jam edition of The Derelict Orpheus is now up. I fixed the bugs I was aware of, implemented a proper ending, and added a bit of polish.
