The notepad was awesome! really liked the idea in general, though I guess at some point I might not have time to question all the people in town. Also, what do you mean rangers are the bad guys :D? I always thought they were good.
The artstyle took some getting used to, but it has its charm. Remninded me a bit of EGA style graphics, really :D
Honestly, this could turn into a really fun game with a bit more time and polish. The basics are already solid.
