I really like the level design in your game, its easy and approachable to people who aren't used to platformers. The blue color is giving it a semi ominous vibe which is fun. I really like the art in your game.
It a good start to a RPG or a visual novel, but I think your writing lacks direction. The main character and their friend don't sound like friends nor do they sound like they're in the same space when speaking. I'd recommend going back and tweaking some of the dialogue because it sounds like the two characters are two roommates having a falling out, rather then two best friends parting ways. Side note, the player seems to have inner thoughts that contradict each other, which I understand is to create a more complex character and to have more complex paths in your game, but it makes your character come across as unlikeable. Overall its a solid start to your game and the coding and background looks great, I'd just go back and tweak your characters and some of the writing.
Its a nice start to the game, but I wish you had explored more ideas with it. As it stands this game is just the player exploring the Nether, which is a fine concept but it doesn't go anywhere. You could have used the Nether as a setting for a story or something, and include the exploration bits of the game. Also I feel like the game itself really lacks individuality since the visuals are only screenshots. Overall I'd say the game has a lot of potential if you want to keep working on it.
I really enjoyed the visuals and the effort you put into making the text pixelated. It really helps set the atmosphere of the game. I also like how the way a lot of the story is written, it has a lot of thought provoking imagery in here.
The story and the visuals were great and went hand in hand together. I really liked the art you did for Norbert too. The different options of dialogue really helped shape the way the game could be played which I quite enjoyed.
