Cool concept! It is hard to say something meaningful about the gameplay, because I experience some technical issues.
I noticed that the "quit game" dialog opened when I was walking around with the arrow-keys (and not pressing Q or ESC). Sometimes the next move closes the game completely. I don't have an precise way to reproduce the bug, I just walk around and it randomly happens.
Maybe it has something to do with some keys having multiple functions? (H & L are both used to move and to go back/select). I've played the Mac 64 version.
Hopefully I can play this game properly at the end of the jam! :)
