INCREDIBLE! Yeah this is really good. I love the amount of detail that's gone into it. It's like an Ultima game (esp. with the reagents). I really look forward to carrying on my adventure in the full version (I reached the edge of the northern map where it said get the full version). Good stuff and good luck with it!

The inventory system is good and really easy to use and the shops are great too.

Couple of minor niggles I had:

1) I wish the player would walk faster! Even 50% faster!
2) If I highlight an item with the mouse and hold it down, I expect my player to go up to it and Open/Use/Attack it, but it doesn't do that. You have to move one square away and then click it. This is quite frustrating and the interface would be a lot nicer if you could do this (Baldur's Style).
3) Sometimes I wish I could change the camera angle to see where I'm going and to fight, and to look for items. But I appreciated it's an isometric game so fair enough.
4) At the end instead of warning you to save it could say "save now? Yes/No"

*** SPOLIERS ****

Oh yeah, my story. I didn't leave the village right away, I explored that basement for ages, got to a room with some mithril and then couldn't figure out how to carry on so I came back out again but ran out of torches on the way so had to randomly flail my way out, which was touch and go if I was gonna make it! Then I went shopping in the village, then got the key to the crypt and then...Well that's maybe enough spoilers!

Anyway brilliant stuff
