I got pretty far in the game (maybe end?), enough to get sword 4 and I was enjoying it, I restarted my computer and no save happened which I haven't been able to recreate, I don't remember if I was on v5.0 or v5.1 so I'll restart.
the meat also takes the carrot place if you eat it without one but in my previous save the carrot went in the carrot slot and the meat went in the meat slot. Food seems like it should improve the regen tick speed or regen amount but all it does is increase your max? I'm not certain what it does.
game froze after a death and when I reloaded, no progress was saved but the character was this time so it's progress I guess
