Hi.

I'm absolutely loving this. I'm a big fan of text rpgs with good mechanics, especially with random generation, I particularly like how much there is to discover, though I have a couple of questions.

Firstly, my game doesn't seem to be saving if I leave the page. I know my cookies are working since some other games on Itch.io that use cookies save fine.

Are there only certain aspects of gameplay that save with cookies? EG prestieges?

I also would really like a way to see the statistics of a given weapon or piece of armour, since the question mark button doesn't seem to work for those and it'd be nice to know for example if a staff does anything special.

Lastly, I work for the site www.audiogames.net, a site devoted to games accessible to blind and visually impaired people using screen reading programms. Games using html work surprisingly well, since screen readers are very good with html text as long as there aren't any graphics or controls that are too bonkers.

Rpgs are very popular over there since as you imagine, there aren't too many accessible ones.

If you'd like to chat about the game further therefore, feel free to check out this topic:

Looking forward to seeing what else is in the dungeon.

I'm glad you are enjoying this game, I put a lot of work into it!

So the saving issue... I haven't done much testing on the itch.io site, so there may be an issue there, but typically the game will not save unless you prestige. It was designed to be a rogue lite type game with progression (which is not normal in roguelike/lites). In order to progress you need to eat a Humble Pie, which will save all of your prestige bonuses and restart you. So you will start at an advanced scene, with bonus xp and the elemental stat bonuses from the other presitige items (Toughen Muffin, Pricey Spice, Breezy Cheese, Funny Hunny, Dandy Candy and Vitali-Tea). You'll need cookies enabled, your browser may not prompt you about cookies until you attempt to save.

For the weapon statistics, I noticed that same issue the last time I played it, currently looking into getting the inspect button to work with gear. It was an oversight and it was intended to work with those.

I registered over on audiogames.net and posted in the introduction thread. Most of the comments there have to do with the saving, which it looks like a few people have already guessed that it is a prestige function. So hope these posts clear things up for you all!
