A for effort.
quite enjoyable, man. brings me back to the old dragon warrior games i used to love; i had a really good time. the only issue i had was sometimes i'd get an item, having never spoken to the person i needed to give it to, and they'd talk to me like they had already explained their situation when they hadn't. for example, when i got to the king, i had the tanning lotion and it automatically gave it to him, but i had no idea why he needed it. i would just set a property on the people who you give an item to that makes you need to have at least one interaction with them before giving them the item. other than that, fantastique.
i actually laughed outlout at what the old guy in the circle of flowers said. lol classic. well thought out work. keep it gangsta.
