I actually made an account just to tell you that I liked this and you should keep working on it. I had fun, and I've been craving a game like this.

I think your artistic influences are Arcanum and maybe Cultist Sim? You are doing a good job - I really wanted more incremental games like Arcanum, and the writing in Cultist Sim is pretty good. I think you hit a nice mixture of whimsy and intrigue, and I actually enjoyed the bits of the world you shared.

The flow of the game was pretty fun, if a bit fast, I think it could maybe be paced slower - that combined with the early development UI tooltips are my main complaints. I frequently was a bit confused as to what a new widget did because you aren't always told what something does before you purchase it.

It's not a big enough problem to really stop my enjoyment, but you may want to polish that. Going back to change the tooltips later will probably be more of a pain the longer the game gets.

I also wasn't sure if I reached the end of the game or not when I forced a path to the Tower - nothing happened afterwards.

Overall, though, I think this has the potential to be a real gem and I hope, nay, pray that you keep developing. I really want to see more from you.
