A cool idea, there are a bunch of different similar games this jam, but this one is unique in the narrative and overall goal. However it's hard to determine what word (or part of word) will be rolled into, other than by trial and error. An undo button would work wonders here, since it's very easy to get stuck (with dice up against a wall or NPC).
The art style with its colors is definitely a selling point for your game, nicely done.
