It's a very surreal game where I didn't know what I was doing at first. I still don't, but somehow I managed to stay alive. Pretty neat, kind of like playing a dream.

This feels like a game with a lot of depth to it - definitely a great realisation of the theme, and reminds me a lot of Dwarf Fortress for some reason. Controls could be clearer, but trial and error gets you there. Great work!

Sorry, you don't really control the guy directly.  If you press space, there's a menu and you select choose target to start walking.  It's a bit indirect.  When moving, you can 'hard travel' to move pretty far in 0 time, but you have to play a twitchier game and risk losing food.

I'm kind of unsure how to indicate that in the UI ... maybe I should just let arrow moves do a 1-square move and have the UI wait...

Took me a bit to get the hang of the controls of the game. I like the puzzle solving nature of the Hard Travel mode. Some of the UI could be a bit clearer, a lot of it blended in with the background and was hard to read.
