This is a very straight-forward little game, but there's nothing wrong with that, and it more or less nails every part of the execution! It felt like playing an older RPG, I felt for the old RPG characters and their story, and it's easy to see the "final boss" and "stuck in a loop" themes!
While it's great on its own, this would also be a great start to a slightly fuller game (made in more than three days, of course), where the current ending isn't what it seems...
