The atmosphere and the story are great. The art style is also very nice. It’s in line with the wired Wonderland theme.
The progressive complexity works well. Maybe, it’s a bit too obvious how to solve the first locations. For the intro, it’s quite enough, of course. At the start, I was mainly enjoying being dragged into the adventure. But if you plan to continue, maybe you can consider adding a bit more of a twist. Like, elements that are not used in the same scene but later on in consequent scenes.
In the location with a river, it wasn’t immediately obvious where you came from and how to return back.
I would actually love to travel more through the woods and explore isolated locations there. It felt so interesting that I really enjoyed returning back there to bring the flowers from the town. I didn’t find the last flower, however :(
The town was also nice. Maybe, you can improve it if you make it less straightforward what characters need in order to sway them.
The menu and save system looked handy but weren’t particularly useful at this point.
Looking forward to seeing what’s in the castle :)
