In the Chapter 3 (Paid) version:
You can take the teleporter back to the mainland area in Chapter 1 after beating the first few elves, then go across the water again and try to continue through the already drained and empty Village.
But the fence at the end will still give the same dialogue: "I should drain the villagers before I leave the village."
It's nothing major, but since the game seems to be big on secrets and finding them, I thought this should at least be mentioned. Maybe someone trying to find all the secrets (like me right now) will walk into this and think they still have stuff to do here to continue and this is a secret but in the end, there is nothing there.
