Found a nasty bug: If you talk to the old lady after getting the candy, your character will walk up and get stucked because the inventory bar will overlap onto the area you need to click to exit the screen.
I have to admit, it was kind of easy later in the game where I basically just sweep through cities one by one.
Too bad that my avatar is still jerky and slow (even on the horse) too control and I hope if there is a next game, such issues would be addressed.
