I've played the story a couple of times. I got the neutral ending only when I didn't kill the guy in the room. If I killed him, I got the bad ending. Am I supposed to spare him and then pick up a dull key?

EDIT: Oh yeah I beat it now, not killing the guy and picking up a dull key. I lol'd when I heard what music you picked for the credits.

Anyways, now that I've played your story a bajillion times, I'll give a more precise review.

Spoiler below!

It was really well-done. The outside area in the beginning was really nice. I loved everything about it. The four paths you could choose was also a very good idea, but the forge path was a bit difficult. I would never have thought to check out the cloth if nobody had pointed it out, because clothes are too common. When I had the copper tube, I also didn't know that I had to use the hammer first on the table, so I was stuck running around in that area for ages. I also didn't expect that I needed two keys.

I also liked the way you could summon the demon, but what I did on my first playthrough was to use all my tinderboxes strategically to light up what I needed of the main hallway in case a monster would appear, so I didn't get to see that scene until I tried to save my tinderboxes on purpose.

The mine was a really nice touch. I kept on my toes through it the entire time. It had a very omnious feel to it. Though when I touched the angel statue and it offered me a lot of things to jump on, I think the water was a little too high up, so staying on the boxes and barrels was just too hard for me to bother with doing it.

The different ending thing was great! I encourage developers to make different endings, because it makes things interesting and adds replayability to the story. Though the chest thing was maybe a bit too random. Maybe. I don't know if you put shining keys in more than one chest. If you put more than one, then it's alright.

Overall, I would give your story a 8 out of 10. One point for the glitches I encountered, and the other one for the story being pretty short. Otherwise, I really recommend people to play your story.
