I really liked this! The imagery you used was stunning and the atmosphere was great. Really made it feel like an old school adventure story. I'm curious to learn more about the world.
Something I was kinda left wanting was more diversity with the portrait choices, as well as shorter paragraphs on some screen to make reading more enjoyable. I also noticed that the screen was flickering to back when switching the background imagery, is that something you're looking to fix? I had that issue myself before.
The item selection at the beginning was a nice way to create branching possibilities later down the line; really good idea there!
