In my opinion the character should be replaced by something that fits the AD a bit more, if you do that i'd probably buy the game on steam right away!
I really like the premise of re-using the structure of games like 60 seconds but putting it into a fantasy setting. Sadly, I never made it to the end and after trying 3 times, I had to give up. The game balancing feels off, exploring was almost always a waste of time for me and even trying to skip nights by not using fire and then resting to get both sanity and energy back wasn't a good strat for me. I also somehow feel like a good strat is to come out of a night with 0 hunger and 0 water thirst, that way you can do actions for free since you can't die from hunger / thirst during the day, but maybe that's just me?
I love the flashlight mechanic and I think it adds depth to the game.
I would've wished for some music.
One of my fav games still, I hope u can tweak it here and there :)
