Running the Linux version, after getting through the tutorial battle, sleeping in the inn, and returning to the forest, I can't find any encounters with slimes/other monsters. All it says is "there doesn't seem to be much to do here..."
ah! Thanks for reporting that bug I have an idea of why this might be but I dont have my pc right now to fix it
if you really want, theres a file called fetch.rpy and there should be a part where it says something like if(renpy.variant(“web”) or noEvents)
you can change this condition to True (capital T) and it should work again!
