The game itself was pretty good! But seemed somewhat generic, nothing really stood out to me as novel (not that I've played a lot of these RPG type games, so maybe I just didn't appreciate the fine-tuning you'd done). And while it all looked nice, there were a few moments, like I did quests but then couldn't find anyone to turn them in to? So I never saw what level up did, but didn't need it to beat Grok anyway. Seems like there's currency that you don't earn, so I guess it's ok that there's a shop that doesn't sell anything. Theme-wise... yep, they're out in the woods, and stuck together, figurateively, in that no one else wanted to buddy up. I did try for a second playthrough given you mentioned replayability but seemed to be fairly similar to the first so I moved on.
All of which reads kinda negatively, sorry, but like I said, it was overall actually a prety good game, especially for a solo jam project, like it's really cool that you managed to put all that together! :-D
