Very unlucky how a whole town thinks your the culprit to these mysterious happenings around the village.

This game reminds me of Reventure

Wish there’s more dialogues to explore & see how the drama unfolds :D

That was a neat demo! The graphics are readable and charming, and the mechanics are competent. The main character is also well-designed.

Congratulations on the submission!

You published a game today! Hell yeah!

I really enjoyed the graphics, especially the palettes you selected.  I also use GBStudio and I understand how challenging it can be. You made your art style work with the tile limitations well. If you're not already part of the GBS Discord, there's a wealth of information there  to help you out on future projects.

It's a bummer you didn't get music in there but that's how jams go sometimes, again the discord is a great place to find folks to collaborate with. 

I got a bit stuck , I felt like I checked everything out but after walking around a while I wasn't finding any new objects or interactions, a little more guidance may have helped.

You built a fun little world and I had a great time playing this game, if you decide to do any updates after the jam I'd love to play an expanded version.  It's an intriguing little village I want to see more of.78
