What a fascinating game! We loved the linguistic and exploration aspects of it so much. Really interesting and satisfying staring at this list of texts and slowly working out what words/morphemes mean what. Thanks so much for making it!
We found the same bug as described by Christina 23 days ago, and so were unable to complete the game. We tried 3 times to drink the (presumably final) concoction, but it never helped get past the snakes. We were always told either "you are feelin peculiar" [sic] or "you experience bodily disquiet", and lost half our health, and sometimes at that point died and sometimes recovered. Either way it always teleports us back to just north of the fields, which is annoying when we'd been about to enter the burial mound. We're pretty confident we've understood the recipe correctly, including the negative element and the correct mushrooms; we tried 2 or 3 copies of the ingredient that was plural; we were always making it with the ingredients in top to bottom order. We wondered if in the cases where we drink the concoction and manage to recover after losing half health that might mean we're now immune to snake poison, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
We also had a weird case where we lost all lives in our first game; started a second one immediately; and the generated language was *very nearly* identical. The word for the water trough and one other were different, but everything else was exactly the same - grammar, vocab, structure etc. First time the water trough was "water"+an unknown morpheme, but second time it was "water"+"warning" which made us wonder if we need to avoid using water from the trough in our concoctions.
