Whose Hellos Are These, Anyway?

In a quirky town where the residents inexplicably greet each other with bizarre, partially remembered quotes from famous books, players step into the role of 'Sal', an eccentric investigator. Tasked with uncovering the source of these strange salutations, you must navigate a web of eccentric characters, each hiding their own secrets and creative interpretations of literature. As you piece together the puzzle, you will engage in imaginative dialogues, complete side quests involving literary themes, and even host a town-wide 'Hello Off' competition where the most offbeat greetings win. Can you unravel the mystery behind these scattered hellos before the town celebrates its annual Literary Festival?
