I love old school point and click and this is so good! The amount of time you must have put into all the art and dialogue is frankly INSANE. Sincerely this is fantastic. If I had any notes, the game also crashed on me, but that is probably more of an issue with AGS than anything you did. If you wanted to move forward with this, I would consider some kind of autosaving because it was a bummer to lose that progress when the it crashed.
But I really had fun playing this and you did a great job!

Hm, I could probably figure out an autosave mechanic... I don't think AGS has one built in, but I could set aside a save game slot and save to it every so often, or at key points. I'm making this into a series, so I can export what I do for this and keep it as a template for future games in the series.
I'm glad you appreciate the work I put in! Honestly, the dialogue wasn't much of an issue, and neither were the small animations. The thing that took the most time (almost a whole week) was the background art, then having to go back and define the walkable areas and walk-behinds with pixel-perfect precision. That was annoying!
Thanks so much for your time and feedback!
