This is really good! Just wish there was a save system or maybe a download. Love the graphics too. Been looking thru the catalog of simple text-based games (although this one is probably very complex under the hood) for some inspiration of my own.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

This has a great gameplay loop, and is surprisingly intricate as well! It was a little weird to have to use both Enter and Tab to proceed through choices, though.

Thank you for playing! I also really appreciate the feedback. My reasoning for making the button to continue TAB/Esc instead of Enter is I felt that using Enter created a situation where the player just spams Enter, and that it could also lead to accidental inputs. Additionally, by using TAB/Esc to continue I hoped it would be a bit more engaging by giving more differentiation of user input. But, I will certainly take your feedback into account. Thanks again!
