Yes, a toggle in settings would be a good idea!
I get the point to show the mechanics cleanly, in case we encounter something new in a re-run. That's totally fair.
Thanks for the reply! I'd love to see what you do with the early game-only followers!
Also, I absolutely love the background score! In case this or something similar is publicly available, could you point me towards it? I'd love to incorporate something similar in my game!
