Nice!
Good story line, not too hard to catch on to each clue. Needs more length. So, in closing, moar pl0x
Reviews for "The Trader of Stories"
Going great then...
After mixing the potion & making the amulet my wagon wheel disappeared. Not sure why, but it vanished... Hard to leave without it.

The cut scene was involving, and started the game on an excellent note. I didn't quite like that the pieces of story you gain don't fit the actions you did to earn it. I.e. the forge guy telling me a part he didn't really mention otherwise. I could understand you making it so that the pieces of story were gained in an order, so that each partial reading of the story contributed to the rising action... but that didn't seem to be the case either.
The chief originally wanted a story spanning the entire village, and you got my buy in for that with the symbolism you gave (the whole roots deal) but the story he got was one of himself. I disliked this =(
Honestly, there was more than enough foreshadowing to make your character stay there and it would've felt... correct? But, it's cool that she kept on keepin' on.
Because your game WAS so story intensive with such an uncomfortably fitting story, it's kinda unnerving, However, Derridas's story was cool as ice and the butterfly lady and all that were cool.
Your art rocked my socks on AND off. Ending cutscene had the drunk show up... dunno how I feel 'bout that.
4 outta 5, 8 outta 10. Put some thought into the foreshadowing and order of your game and it'll get my 5s and 10s. Overall, excellent game and I look forward to more.

Beatiful graphics! I liked it.
Btw, there's a bug: I was about to brew the amulet, I've put the flower inside the pot, but then I realized I sold drunkards hair. I went back to the vendor and bought it back, but when I tried to finish the potion, I couldn't, and I had to restart the game and start over.
What's the reason for selling stuff anyway? I don't recall there was a need for selling anything at all :-/
Very good story and art
You did really good in making art and in creating storyline. Only one thing was bad, it was the font, it really got annoying after a while to read all the text in that style. That font was good for some notes or recipes, but chatting with npc's should have other font. Anyway the game itself was great.
