I'm sorry this is a little late - I have a 2008 iMac with OS X El Capitan, and I'm having the same problem on both Chrome and Safari. I doubt it'll help, but I appreciate your reply nonetheless.
I see. I am testing the game in Win8, so I am not sure if it is because of the different operating system. If more people using the OS series encounter the same problem then it probably is.
I wanted to play it, but the fact that there's no back behind the text means that I have to squint to read, which isn't very fun. Another issue is that the cursor disappears when you scroll through the window, a problem that immediately makes itself clear before you even begin the game when you have to click "start" - requiring players to click in specific places yet at the same time turning their cursor invisible isn't a good combination, and to be frank, not being able to see my cursor gives me a panic attack; if you don't want the player's cursor blocking their view, you can make it so that the cursor fades out after a few seconds without movement, or simply leave it visible at all times and make the player move it to the side of the screen when they don't need it.
While I can't speak for the story, the artwork - at least, what little I've seen of it - looks nice. Hope you read this.
I haven't encountered the cursor problem before, so I am not sure if under some kind of situation this will happen. Feel free to tell me the details in message so I can help to troubleshoot.
In the final battle, I was just about outnumbered two to one (18 against 34 I think). 31 beatdowns by the white mage (me) later, I spared the last two (one of them killed himself, I think), defeated the four challengers who wanted to claim the title of Grand Wizard and won the game with a final reputation score of 303(God). It seems mages aren't good group strategists.
"I for one could use a new Marmaduke(Dog), at least recreationally." WHY? Why did you feel like telling me that? Jeez. And just what did you do to the old Marmaduke? Forget it, I don't want to know.
